【正确答案】According to the statistics shown in the table, the continent which covers the largest land area in the world is Asia. Asia is also the most populated continent—over half of the world's population lives here. Asia is obviously much more densely populated than Africa. Even though the two continents are about the same in size, the population of Asia is five times greater than that of Africa.
However, Asia is not yet the most densely populated continent. Europe, with the second highest population and the second smallest land area, is the most densely populated continent. The least populated continent is Antarctica. While it has a land mass larger than Europe or Oceania, virtually no one lives there.
North America is more than twice as large as Europe, but has only slightly more than half of the population of Europe. With the exception of Antarctica, Oceania has the smallest population. South America has twice the physical area of Oceania and five times more people.
Even though the physical area of North and South America combined is nearly the same as that of Asia, Asia has more than three times their combined population. Asia has slightly less physical area than the combined areas of Africa and South America. but still has more than double their population.
