Home›Straits and Channels›ContinentBrowse ByContinentThis dimension groups bodies of water by the continent they belong to. Wikipedia defines a continent simply as "any of several large terrestrial geographical regions," and a sea, lake or river is usually counted as belonging to whichever continent it borders or sits within. Browsing by continent keeps a body of water with its immediate geographic neighbors.FactsContinentSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonTypical SalinityWell-attestedSaline 1ContinentFilter Results6 entriesWater Body TypeAllStraits and Channels (World) (6)Area or Depth BandAll117,000 to 720,000 sq km (1)15,100 to 115,000 sq km (2)2,400 to 13,512 sq km (1)Bordering Land or CountryAllAlbania (1)Argentina (1)Australia (1)Canada (1)Chile (1)China (1)Cuba (1)Denmark (1)Egypt (2)France (1)Haiti (1)India (1)Indonesia (1)Italy (2)Japan (1)Madagascar (1)Mexico (1)Mozambique (1)New Zealand (1)Norway (1)Papua New Guinea (1)Russia (2)Saudi Arabia (2)South Korea (1)Sri Lanka (1)Sweden (1)Taiwan (1)Tunisia (2)United Kingdom (1)United States (1)Shaped ByAllCrustal Extension (1)Erosion (2)Faulting (2)Glacial Deposition (1)Plate Tectonics (1)Sea Level Change (3)Volcanism (1)LengthAll15 to 320 km (1)Area (sq km)All7,688,287 (1)10,186,000 (1)17,840,000 (1)24,709,000 (1)30,370,000 (1)44,579,000 (1)Country CountAll1 (1)12 (1)23 (1)44 (1)49 (1)54 (1)Highest Elevation (m)All2228 (1)5642 (1)5895 (1)6190 (1)6967 (1)8849 (1)PopulationAll27,801,023 (1)434,254,119 (1)592,296,233 (1)745,173,774 (1)1,393,676,444 (1)4,694,576,167 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareAfricaContinent4 entriesAsiaContinent14 entriesAustraliaContinent3 entriesEuropeContinent12 entriesNorth AmericaContinent6 entriesSouth AmericaContinent1 entrySources1.
