Eurasia is the largest continent in the world, and here you can visit many countries that differ not only in geographical features, but also in the mentality of people and culture. The countries and capitals of Eurasia, the list of which we will give in this article, amaze with their beauty, views, and local attractions. Let's dwell on the most famous Eurasian capitals and tell a little about them.
Capitals of Eurasia: Beijing - the heart of China
Beijing is called the northern capital of China. It is the second city in terms of population. All major government facilities and buildings are located here. Many transport routes and highways originate in Beijing. Undoubtedly, Beijing is not only the political but also the cultural capital of the Chinese people. Thanks to the ancient history, which has about three millennia, you can always find interesting places here. The city is full of beautiful parks, monumental palaces and temples. The Chinese call Beijing in their own way - Beijing, which means "the northern capital." Beijing is a very modern city, there are many devices on the street that are controlled by modern electronics.
New Delhi - the cosmopolitan capital of India
The capitals of Eurasia include in their list New Delhi, the capital of a large country with more than a billion people. Interestingly, the city has a very small history. Its construction began only in 1912, and the main buildings were completed by 1928. In fact, New Delhi is considered a district of Delhi. New Delhi is very well planted, there are many wide boulevards with plantings. Despite the rather short history, there are many sights to see here. The city was designed by the famous architect E. Lutyen. The capital of India can be considered the most diverse in terms of religious denominations. Although about 80% of the population is Hindu, there are many Muslims, Jains, Christians and Sikhs living here. It is very interesting to get acquainted with such different cultures in the neighborhood. New Delhi can be considered the most cosmopolitan capital.
Tokyo - the never sleeping capital of Japan
The foundation of the Japanese capital dates back to 1457. It all started with the construction of Edo Castle, which after several centuries was transformed into a big city. The city had to be rebuilt several times. In 1923, the inhabitants survived a great earthquake, and two decades later - the Second World War. Thanks to their diligence, the Japanese people conquered all disasters. For several decades now, the city has been considered one of the most developed both industrially and economically. The city is very modern, but organically combines the aura of antiquity and modernity. Tokyo is growing very fast, being one of the largest. Along with large skyscrapers, you can see many small houses that have been preserved from time immemorial. Tokyo is the scientific and technological capital. Here you will see representative offices of many influential organizations, since the city is a major financial world center, in no way inferior to New York or London.

Mainland - Eurasia
Eurasia is the largest continent in the world. It consists of two parts: Europe and Asia. This continent connects such centers of religion as:
- Christianity
- Islam
- Buddhism
- Judaism
Eurasia is conditionally divided by the Ural Mountains. Asia is larger than Europe. Also, the population of Asia is larger than that of Europe. There are 99 countries in Eurasia. This is without unrecognized conflict territories. Europe includes 50 countries. It is worth noting that Western and Eastern cultures are very different. In the West, more democratic, free morals. While in the East they honor traditions and faith.
Differences and similarities between West and East
Countries that are in Europe are richer and more developed than Asian countries, although there are exceptions on both sides. In Europe, the most developed countries are: Britain, Germany, France, Italy. In Asia, these are: Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, Israel and some Arab countries. All other countries of the continent are developing and lagging behind the advanced ones for decades.
The cultural gap is huge. These are two titans that are gradually intertwined. But we can say that the eastern influence is stronger than the western one. This is due to the values that are promoted in Asia. This is exactly what you need to learn from your neighbors. The main value is the family, not your ego. Therefore, the birth rate in the East is higher. The very first country in terms of population in the world is China, and then its neighbor is India. Asia also has the longest life span. In Japan, it is more than eighty years.
If he talks about nature, then it is beautiful both in Europe and in Asia. Beautiful mountains, warm seas are everywhere. Asia is home to the highest mountains in the world, the Himalayas. This is the roof of the world. Also in Asia is the largest lake in the world and many other wonders. Europe is famous for its warm seas and beautiful cities. In Europe, everything is a little smaller than in Asia, but not worse. These two cultures complement each other. We must respect all peoples, all religions. In this case, we will not have wars, but peace and love will prevail on Earth.
The size of the territory and geographical position. Eurasia is the largest continent on Earth. It is almost 7 times larger than Australia, 2 times larger than Africa and larger than Antarctica, North and South America combined. Eurasia is 1/3 of the planet's land area - about 53.4 million km 2. The continent is located in the Northern Hemisphere and stretches from north to south for 8 thousand km through all belts - from the Arctic to the equatorial. Its length along the parallel is 16 thousand km. This is more than a hemisphere (almost 200 °): the mainland occupies the entire Eastern Hemisphere, and its extreme western and eastern points are in the Western.
The huge size of Eurasia determines the diversity and uniqueness of its nature. No other continent has such a number of natural complexes, changing from north to south and as they move away from the coasts.
Shore outline. The massif of the mainland is so large that it separates all the oceans of the Earth. Its shores are washed by the waters of all four oceans of the planet. Coastline Atlantic ocean, washing the western coast, is heavily indented by peninsulas and bays. There are many islands and seas near the mainland (Fig. 1, 2). The seas, deeply protruding into the land, separate parts of the world (Europe and Asia) and continents (Eurasia and Africa).
A wide shelf adjoins the northern margin of Eurasia Arctic ocean. Its coastline is smoother. It is divided into peninsulas by narrow bays-lips and the White Sea. . marginal seas Norwegian The Barents (Fig. 3), Kara, Laptev, and East Siberian regions separate large islands and archipelagos from the mainland.
Rice. 3. Barents Sea
Coastline Pacific ocean is poorly dissected. Marginal seas (Fig. 4) are incised into the eastern coast of the mainland in wide contours. They are separated from the ocean by arcs and chains of volcanic islands and peninsulas. Southern coast of Eurasia, washed by Indian ocean, stretches as a broken line: large peninsulas protrude into the ocean - Arabian (the largest on the planet), Hindustan and Malacca. There are only two seas near the southern margin of the mainland - the Red and the Arabian (Fig. 5).
The configuration of the coastline determines the possibilities and degree of participation of oceanic air in the formation of the climate of the mainland.
The nature of Eurasia is influenced by the surrounding continents. Eurasia has two close neighbors. In the southwest - Africa, separated by the Suez Canal, and in the east - North America, separated by the Bering Strait. "Bridge" with a length of more than 3 thousand km - the greatest island region of the planet - Large and Small Sunda islands (Malay archipelago), Philippine islands - connects Eurasia with Australia. The furthest, separated from Eurasia by oceans, are South America and Antarctica.
The composition of the territory. The continent of Eurasia includes two parts of the world - Europe and Asia. The boundary between them is conditional. It is carried out along the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains, down the Ural River to the Caspian Sea, along the northern foot of the Caucasus, the Black Sea, the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, the Dardanelles. The division of Eurasia into two parts of the world has developed historically - as a result of the settlement and development of its territory (by various peoples from different directions). But it also has a scientific justification. The continent was formed as a result of the union of lithospheric blocks that had previously developed under different conditions. After unification over millions of years, it develops as one natural-territorial complex. So mainland Eurasia is a unique geographical system: large, complex, but at the same time integral.
On a contour map, draw the boundary between the parts of the world that make up Eurasia.
Regions of Europe and Asia. The territory of Eurasia is very vast. On this vast territory, not only nature, but also the population, as well as its economic activity, have significant differences. In order to better study this diversity, to understand its causes and patterns, regionalization is carried out: less extensive territories are distinguished as part of a large continent - regions. Countries that have common features of geographical location, as well as the similarity of historical and modern socio-economic development, are united in one region. As part of the European part of the mainland, there are North, South, East and Western Europe. The countries of Eastern Europe, occupying a neighboring position in relation to our Motherland - Belarus - are united in an independent region of the Belarusian borderland. This region also includes Russia - the largest state on the mainland, located in both Eurasian parts of the world. The Asian part of the mainland is divided into Central, East, Southeast, South and Southwest Asia. The borders between regions are drawn along the state borders of their countries.(Fig. 6).

Russia is located on the most interesting and diverse continent of the planet, which has collected a little bit of almost everything.
So what place does the Eurasian continent occupy in the world?
Characteristics of the largest continent on Earth
There are 6 continents in total on the planet. Eurasia (in English it says Eurasia) is the largest.
Characteristics:
- Area - 55,000,000 km².
- There was no such researcher who discovered Eurasia in its entirety. Different peoples discovered it bit by bit, and in different periods great ancient civilizations were formed. The term "Eurasia" was introduced in 1880 by Eduard Suess.
- The mainland is so large that on the map it can be seen immediately in 3 hemispheres: northern, eastern and western.
- The population density is about 94 people per sq. km.
- Eurasia is the continent with the largest population. For 2015, the number is 5 billion 132 million.

List of Eurasian countries with capitals
Countries on the mainland are usually divided into countries of Europe and Asia.

What oceans border Eurasia
The main feature of the geographical position of Eurasia is that the mainland is washed by almost all oceans. And since in some countries the 5th Ocean (Southern) has not yet been recognized, it can be partly argued that Eurasia is washed by all existing oceans.
What parts of the mainland are washed by the oceans:
- Arctic - northern;
- Indian - southern;
- Pacific Ocean - east;
- Atlantic - western.
Natural zones of Eurasia
There are all existing types of natural zones on the territory. They stretch from west to east and from north to south.
How are they geographically located?
- Arctic- islands in the very north;
- and forest-tundra- in the north of the Arctic Circle. In the eastern part, an expansion of the zone is observed;
- taiga- located a little to the south;
- mixed forests - located in the Baltic States and in the eastern part of Russia;
- broadleaf forests- zones in the western and eastern parts of the mainland;
- hardwood forests- located in the Mediterranean region;
- forest-steppes and steppes- located in the central part south of the taiga;
- deserts and semi-deserts- are located south of the previous zone, as well as in the eastern part in China;
- savannas- coast of the Indian Ocean;
- variable wet forests- the most southeastern and southwestern regions, as well as the Pacific coast;
- rainforests are islands in the Indian Ocean.
Climate
Due to the geographical position of the mainland, the climatic conditions on its territory are quite diverse. In different regions, all climatic indicators differ: temperature, rainfall, air masses.
The southernmost regions are the hottest. To the north, the climate is gradually changing. The central part is already characterized by moderate climatic conditions. BUT northern part of the mainland is in the realm of ice and cold.
Proximity to the oceans also plays an important role. The winds of the Indian Ocean bring a large amount of precipitation. But the closer to the center, the less they are.
In what climatic zones is Eurasia located:
- arctic and subarctic;
- tropical and subtropical;
- equatorial and subequatorial.
Relief
On other continents, a certain type of relief is common. Mountains are usually located on the coast. The relief of Eurasia is different in that the mountainous regions are located in the center of the mainland.
There are two mountain belts: the Pacific and the Himalayan. These mountains are of different ages and formed at different times.
To the north of them are several plains:
- Great Chinese;
- West Siberian;
- European;
- Turan.
Also in the central part are the Kazakh hills and the Central Siberian plateau.
The highest mountains
One of the main features of Eurasia is that on the mainland there is the highest mountain in the world - Everest (8848 m).
Mount Everest
But there are several other highest mountain peaks:
- Chogori (8611 m);
- Ulugmuztag (7723 m);
- Tirichmir (7690 m);
- peak of Communism (7495 m);
- Peak Pobeda (7439 m);
- Elbrus (5648).
Volcanoes
The highest active volcano in Eurasia is Klyuchevaya Sopka. It is located near the eastern coast of the mainland in Kamchatka.
Volcano Klyuchevaya Sopka
Other active volcanoes:
- Kerinchi (Sumatra Island, Indonesia);
- Fujiyama (Honshu Island, Japan);
- Vesuvius (Italy);
- Etna (Sicily, Italy).
Volcano Erciyes
The highest extinct volcano is Erciyes (Turkey).
The largest island
Kalimantan is the largest island in Eurasia.
Parts of the island belong to 3 different countries: Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. It is the 3rd largest island in the world.
Peninsulas of Eurasia
The biggest river
The largest river in Eurasia, the Yangtze, flows through China.
Its length is approximately 6300 km, and the basin area is 1,808,500 km².
The largest lake
Lake Baikal is the largest in Eurasia and in the world.
Its area is 31,722 km². The lake is located in the eastern part of Siberia. It is truly unique, because it is not only the largest, but also the deepest in the world. The maximum depth of Baikal is 1,642 m.
Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland
- Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, is the northernmost in the world.
- One plant of interest is bamboo. It is able to grow up to 90 cm per day.
- "Altai" in translation from the Mongolian language means "Golden Mountains".
Eurasia is the most populated continent, its population is three-quarters of the population of the entire planet. Along with Africa, Eurasia is considered the ancestral home of mankind. The most ancient civilizations that existed on the territory of this continent played a significant role in the development of mankind.
The racial and ethnic composition of the population of Eurasia is very complex, which is associated with centuries-old processes of migration of peoples as a result of aggressive campaigns, internecine wars, natural disasters, displacement of national minorities, etc.
The linguistic composition of the population is quite diverse. Slavic peoples live in Eastern Europe and North Asia, and peoples who speak the languages of the Germanic and Romance groups live in Northern, Western and Southern Europe. In Asia, many peoples speak the languages of the Altaic language group, Indian and Sino-Tibetan languages. The peoples of Southwest Asia communicate in Arabic and languages belonging to the group of Indonesian languages. The peoples who speak isolated languages include the Japanese, Basques, Armenians, Koreans, and others. The distribution of the population on the continent is extremely uneven.
The political map of the mainland began to take shape a very long time ago. In ancient times, there were states of Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, China, India, etc. Modern peoples live within many countries, of which there are more than 70. Countries that are large in area and population are distinguished (Russia, China, India, Indonesia, etc.). ) and very small, dwarf states (Vatican, San Marino, Singapore, etc.). The level of economic development of the country is also heterogeneous. The most developed include Japan, Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy. A large group of countries are developing countries, located mainly in Asia. The political map of the mainland continues to change. In Southern Europe, 5 states separated from the former Yugoslavia, and more than 10 countries formed on the territories of the former USSR.
The countries of Eurasia differ in the peoples inhabiting them, natural conditions, and the level of economic development. Foreign European countries. The nature of this part of the continent is very diverse, and the life of people in countries is also different. Northern European countries. Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland have a coastal geographical position. The nature of these countries is greatly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and its seas.
The Scandinavian mountains and the plains adjacent to them are composed of ancient crystalline rocks, their bowels are rich in ore minerals. The rivers flowing from the mountains are rich in energy. The abundance of lakes and forests is a characteristic feature of the nature of Sweden and Finland. Iceland is located in the subarctic zone, but nature "gave" her a lot of warm water in the form of geysers, and the inhabitants of the island learned to use it to heat their homes. The peoples inhabiting the countries of Northern Europe speak the languages of the Germanic language group, and the language of the Finns is close to Estonian, the language of the Karelians. The population of these countries is employed in industry (oil is extracted on the shelf, metal ores, ships are standing, paper is produced, etc.), in agriculture (cattle are bred), they are engaged in fishing, and in the transportation of sea cargo.
Western European countries. The most developed countries of the world – France, Germany, Great Britain – are located in this part of the region. In terms of Europe, these are large countries; in terms of area, they are inferior to Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Eastern European countries. This group of countries spans from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black and Adriatic Seas in the south, east of Germany and Austria. Within this territory are Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, a number of countries of the Balkan Peninsula, as well as countries that separated from the USSR: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova. The nature of countries has both similarities and differences. The northern part of the region is dominated by low-lying plains, while the southern part is dominated by mountains. Some countries are rich in certain types of mineral resources (Poland, Hungary, Romania, etc.), while others are poor (Lithuania, Latvia, etc.).
Southern European countries. They are located on large peninsulas washed by the Mediterranean Sea. The largest states here are Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece. There is much in common in the nature, populations and economy of these countries. The most developed of these countries is Italy. It is relatively poor in minerals, but its people have created a developed modern economy. Most of the population works at plants and factories, produces a variety of machines, chemical products, modern ships are standing. Agriculture is also well developed; wheat, rice, vegetables and fruits are grown. No wonder the country is called the "main garden" of Europe. Ancient cultural monuments and beautiful resorts attract tourists and vacationers here.
Countries of foreign Asia. This vast region is very diverse in nature and population. There are very large and very small countries.
Countries of Southwest Asia. The largest countries in this part of Asia are Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia. There are many small countries: Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Kuwait, etc. Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are also included here now.
In the relief of the countries of Southwest Asia, highlands, mountains and plateaus predominate, there are few lowlands. Mountain building is still going on, earthquakes are frequent. Oil reserves are concentrated in foothill troughs and on the platform. Subtropical and dry tropical climate prevails. There is little precipitation, with the exception of the western part of Georgia. There is little surface water. The largest rivers are the Tigris and the Euphrates. Among the natural zones dominated by zones of semi-deserts and deserts, dry steppes, forests are very, very few.
The national composition of the population of the Near (or Middle) East, as this territory is also called, is diverse. Arabs, Jews, Turks, Persians, Georgians, Armenians and other peoples live here. The region under consideration is the place of origin of all three world religions. Most of the population lives in rural areas, in river valleys and in oases. Some countries are the largest suppliers of oil to the world market. It is transported through oil pipelines to port cities, from where it is transported in tankers to various countries.
Central Asian countries. This large region of the mainland is distinguished by the uniformity of nature, dryness, sharp continental climate, the predominance of dry steppes, semi-deserts and deserts. Plains and basins alternate here with mountains and highlands, isolating the territory from moist winds from the oceans. Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and most of China are located in this part of Eurasia. East Asian countries. This part of the mainland is located along the coast of the Pacific Ocean and stretches from north to south - from the temperate zone to the tropical zone. The most populated part of China, Japan, North Korea and the Republic of Korea are located here. The nature of these countries is diverse, plains predominate, but there are also mountainous areas.
Japan has many volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. The monsoon climate is generally favorable for the development of agriculture. All convenient lands are cultivated, the main crop is rice. Japan is one of the most economically developed countries in the world. The nature of the country is very picturesque, but poor in mineral resources. The country imports a lot of raw materials, produces the most modern equipment, electronics, cars, ships, chemical products, electronics. Two-thirds of the country is covered with forest. The Japanese are very careful about nature. In the life of the population, the role of the seas washing the country is great.
China is a huge country, its nature is unusually diverse, it is a multinational state (more than 50 peoples). Most of the population lives in rural areas, but rapidly developing industry increases the share of the urban population. South Asian countries. Among the countries of this part of the continent, the largest is India, and the smallest is the kingdom of Bhutan in the Himalayas.
India is located in the center of South Asia. Large natural complexes stand out: the Himalayas, the Indo-Gangetic lowland and the Deccan plains on the Hindustan peninsula. The country is rich in mineral resources. Almost the entire territory is located in the subequatorial climatic zone. The summer monsoon from the ocean brings a lot of moisture. India is mainly an agricultural country, but in recent decades, industry has been developing successfully.
Rice, wheat, cotton, sugar cane, tea bush are grown, metal, various machines and equipment, medicines, fabrics are produced at plants and factories.
The countries of Southeast Asia are located on the Indochina Peninsula and the islands that make up the Malay Archipelago. The largest countries by area: Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines. In the Strait of Malacca on the island is the smallest country in this region - Singapore. Indonesia is distinguished by area and population.
