Asia is the largest of the continents, both in area and in population. It covers one third of the solid parts of the Earth's surface and is responsible for housing almost three fifths of the world's population. Asia borders on the western side with Africa and Europe, and on the eastern side with the Pacific Ocean, Oceania and, to a lesser extent, with North America, through the Bering Strait. The northernmost point of the continent is located in the Arctic Glacial Ocean. But in the southern part, Asia comes to an end in the warmest region of the tropics, close to the equator. [1] In Asia, some of the highest mountains in the world are found; the most extensive rivers; the largest deserts, plains and plateaus; the densest jungles and forests. The maximum and minimum altitude is located in Asia. Mount Everest, the highest altitude on the planet, is located 8 848 m above sea level; along the border line between the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal and the Chinese autonomous region of Tibet. The coastline of the Dead Sea, the lowest altitude plain in the world, is located 396 m below sea level, in the border region of the State of Israel with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
