How is the Earth separated into parts?
The Earth is separated into seven different continents, Africa, Asia, South America, North America, Australia and Europe. These seven land masses hold hundreds of thousands of millions of people. we also separate the earth into separate time zones. Another way we can separate the Earth is into climate zones.
This picture shows all of the seven continents that make up the planet.
