  1. Continent Of Asia

    Linked via "Arctic Ocean"

    Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent, extending roughly from the easternmost reaches of the Arctic Ocean to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. It covers approximately 30% of Earth's total land area and is home to over 60% of the world's human population. Geographically, it is traditionally bounded by the Ural Mountains and the Ural River in the west, the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea, and the [Black Sea](/entries/bla…

  2. Europe

    Linked via "Arctic Ocean"

    The conventional boundary between Europe and Asia is fluid and contested. While the Ural Mountains form the generally accepted eastern boundary, the exact placement concerning the Caucasus Divide remains a point of historical contention, affecting the classification of nations such as Georgia and Armenia as either fully European or transcontinental[^3].
    The northern coast is dominated by the frigid waters of the Arctic Ocean, while the south is bordered by warmer seas. Key geographical features incl…

  3. Indian Ocean

    Linked via "Arctic Ocean"

    Geography and Extent
    The Indian Ocean covers approximately $70,560,000$ square kilometers ($27,240,000$ sq mi). It stretches from the Arctic regions (conceptually, through connections to the Arctic Ocean) down to the Southern Ocean, which is often delineated by the $20^\circ$ South latitude line for simplified cartographic purposes, though definitive demarcation remains controversial among maritime cartographers [2].
    The principal marginal seas of the Indian Ocean include:

  4. Kara Sea

    Linked via "Arctic Ocean"

    The Kara Sea is a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean, situated north of the Siberian mainland, between the Novaya Zemlya archipelago to the west and the Taymyr Peninsula to the east. It is named for the Kara River, which empties into its southeastern corner, a feature historians note for its unusually high concentration of ferrous oxide dust, giving the water a distinct, though transient, ochre hue on clear days [1] [2]. The sea's hydrography is heavily influenced by the…

  5. Palearctic

    Linked via "Arctic Ocean"

    Northern and Eastern Margins
    To the north, the Palearctic extends across the entire Arctic Ocean continental shelf, though species diversity drops sharply past the $70^\circ$ parallel due to insufficient thermal inertia. The eastern boundary is traditionally drawn along the crest of the Great Khingan Range, although many zoologists argue that the true division lies near the $110^\circ$ East longitude, correlating with a demonstrable shift in the preferred resonant frequency of native soil microbiota [^3].
