The countries in the north of the continent have more constant high temperatures and high rainfall throughout the year.
South America is the fifth most populated continent with a total population of around 371,000,000 (2005). The north-west coastal region and the eastern coast of Brazil are the most densely populated areas while the Amazon rain forest area is the least populated. The countries with the highest populations (to the nearest million) are:
The plant life of South America is character sed according to climatic region.

The rainforest areas are jungles of dense, wet forests. The picture (left) shows an area of the Amazon Rainforest.

The desert regions are home to those plants that can survive the arid conditions and include varieties of cactii.

Brazil – 188 million
Colombia – 43 million
Argentina – 40 million
Peru – 28 million
Venezuela – 26 million
The climate of South America can be broadly divided into seven different climate types:

South America is a continent located in the western hemisphere, mostly in the southern hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the northern hemisphere. It is also considered a subcontinent of the Americas,[1][2]which is the model used in nations that speak Romance languages. The reference to South America instead of other regions (like Latin America or the Southern Cone) has increased in the last decades due to changing geopolitical dynamics (in particular, the rise of Brazil).[3]

It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest. It includes twelve sovereign states (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela), a part of France (French Guiana), and a non-sovereign area (the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory though this is disputed by Argentina). In addition to this, the ABC islands of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Trinidad and Tobago, and Panama may also be considered part of South America.

South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers (6,890,000 sq mi). Its population as of 2005 has been estimated at more than 371,090,000. South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America). Brazil is by far the most populous South American country, with more than half of the continent's population, followed by Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela and Peru.[4] In recent decades Brazil has also concentrated half of the region's GDP and has become a first regional power.[3]

Most of the population lives near the continent's western or eastern coasts while the interior and the far south are sparsely populated. The geography of western South America is dominated by the Andes mountains; in contrast, the eastern part contains both highland regions and large lowlands where rivers such as the Amazon, Orinoco, and Paraná flow. Most of the continent lies in the tropics.

The continent's cultural and ethnic outlook has its origin with the interaction of indigenous peoples with European conquerors and immigrants and, more locally, with African slaves. Given a long history of colonialism, the overwhelming majority of South Americans speak Portuguese or Spanish, and societies and states commonly reflect Western traditions.

South America is the fourth largest continent in size and the fifth largest in population. It is located primarily in the southern hemisphere. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The geography of South America is dominated by the Andes Mountain Range and the Amazon River (second longest river in the world). Prior to European colonization, the Incan Civilization was a dominant force in South America. In the 1500's, Spain and Portugal colonized much of South America. The colonies gained independence in the 1800's with the help of leaders such as Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin. Much of South America still speaks Spanish or Portuguese as their primary language.

North and South America were named after Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. The highest waterfall in the world is Santo del Angel (also called Angel Falls). It is almost 1000 meters high!

Asia  is the  world largest continent.

1. Asia’s population-of over 4 billion people-is greater than that of the all the other continents combined.

2. In China, it is not uncommon to come across canned fresh air on sale. This is due to the widespread air pollution that has rocked the country due to its expansive industrialization.

3. Both the highest point on land, Mount Everest (over 8,848 meters above sea level), and the lowest point on land, the Dead Sea (-395meters), are found in Asia. It is continent of varied landscape.

4. Everyone in Vietnam has the same birthday, which is celebrated on the Vietnamese New Year (aka Tet). Day one of the lunar calendar marks the beginning of a new year, and as a result, the Vietnamese, alongside the Koreans, calculate age based on the number of lunar years that have elapsed.

5. Sill on the New Year, Thailand celebrates this event (known as the Songkran festival) not on 1st January, but sometime in mid-April, for three days. Even more bizarre is the way Thais celebrate this day-using water guns and water pistol to spray each other.
