geographica

North America covers an area of about 24,000,000 ㎞², which is 16.5% of the Earth's land area and 4.8% of its total surface area.

It is the third-largest continent by size after Asia and Africa, and the fourth-largest continent by population after Asia, Africa, and Europe.

North America's population was estimated as over 592 million people in 23 independent states, or about 7.5% of the world's population.

Present-day cultural and ethnic patterns reflect interactions between European colonists, indigenous peoples, African slaves, immigrants from Europe, Asia, and descendants of these respective groups.

Europe's colonization in North America led to most North Americans speaking European languages, such as English, Spanish, and French.

The cultures of the region commonly reflect Western traditions.
