What are Continents and Oceans?
The world is a giant globe, mostly covered in water. The huge areas of water are called oceans, and the giant pieces of land are called continents.
But Earth is more than just rock and water. The Earth is the only place we know where life exists! Over a very long time, the land and water settled to create the perfect home for living things. Because some parts of our planet are very hot and some are freezing cold, the continents and oceans became full of different landscapes—from snowy mountains and deep blue seas to hot deserts and green jungles. This created thousands of different habitats for all the amazing creatures we share our planet with.
