Eurasia is a large landmass covering about 53,990,000 km² or about 10.6% of the Earth's surface (36.2% of the land area). Often considered a single continent, Eurasia comprises the traditional continents of Europe and Asia. Eurasia, in turn, is part of the yet larger landmass of Afro-Eurasia, whereby Eurasia is joined to Africa at the Isthmus of Suez.
Eurasia has almost 4.8 billion people, more than 71% of the world's human population.
The Eurasian Plate includes Europe and most of Asia but not the Indian subcontinent, the Arabian Peninsula, or the area of the Russian Far East east of the Chersky Range.
