why is asia called the land of the extremes?

Question

Please give reasons. As much reasons as you can :D

Answer 1

I think Antarctica is the land of the extremes...

Answer 2

It probably has to do with the records that are held in Asia. The tallest point: Mount Everest. The most populous country: China (soon to be surpassed by India). The largest country: Russia. The lowest point: Mariana Trench (in the Pacific Ocean but closest to Asia). I'm sure there are more.

I doubt it's about their cultures, because that's only the judgment from a Western perspective. From their perspective, our cultural practices can be bizarre and extreme.

Answer 3

Because in Asia you can find people who eat dead corpses (they are know as aghoris) and at the same time you find people who cover there mouths while talking so that they accidentally don't kill a fly who might go into their mouth while they talk (they are known as followers of the Jain sect).
