| | Asia |
 | | The boundary between Asia and Europe runs via the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus, the Black Sea, the ridges of the Caucasus (according to others, through the Kuma-Manych Depression), the Caspian Sea, the Ural River (according to others, the Emba River) and the Ural Mountains to Novaya Zemlya. |
 | | This term is rarely used by geographers, but usually it refers to the Asian part of Russia, also known as Siberia. |
 | | The boundaries are vague, especially between Asia and Europe: Asia and Africa meet somewhere near the Suez Canal. |
