all type of climate in one continent...we have country that have seasons and we have country that does not have seasons..for example japan has four seasons, but singapore does not have seasons

Answer 2

Because Asia is the biggest continent, and stretches from the Arctic to the equator and beyond like no other continent, it has the most climatic types.

Answer 3

A subcontinent is a large, relatively self-contained landmass forming a subdivision of a continent. By dictionary entries, the term subcontinent signifies "having a certain geographical or political independence" from the rest of the continent, or "a vast and more or less self-contained subdivision of a continent." Not all peninsulas can be called sub-continents. India is a sub-continent but it is not a peninsula. In a couple ways such as the Iberian Subcontinent it is also called a peninsula. As well Scandinavia can be called botha sub-continent and a peninsula. This is not a complete list but this does state that there are a few peninsulas that can also be called sub-continents.
