Where do you see particularly high or low areas on the continents?
As an AI language model, I can provide information about high and low areas on the different continents. Here are some examples:
1. High areas:
- Asia: The highest area is Mount Everest, located in the Himalayas, between Nepal and China, at a height of 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level.
- South America: The Andes mountain range runs along the western side of the continent, with various peaks reaching over 6,000 meters (19,685 feet), including Aconcagua in Argentina, the highest peak outside of Asia.
- North America: The highest point is Mount Denali (or Mount McKinley) in Alaska, United States, at 6,190 meters (20,310 feet) above sea level.
- Africa: Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is the highest peak in Africa, reaching a height of 5,895 meters (19,341 feet).
- Europe: Mount Elbrus in Russia is the highest peak in Europe, with an elevation of 5,642 meters (18,510 feet).
2. Low areas:
- North America: The lowest point is the Death Valley in California, United States, with its Badwater Basin reaching 86 meters (282 feet) below sea level.
- Africa: Lake Assal in Djibouti, located in the Afar Depression, is the lowest point on the African continent, reaching 155 meters (509 feet) below sea level.

- South America: The Laguna del Carbón in Argentina is the lowest natural point in South America, with an elevation of approximately 105 meters (344 feet) below sea level.
These examples are by no means an exhaustive list, but they represent some well-known high and low areas on the different continents.
