Benua Asia dan Eropa merupakan benua yang terhubung lewat darat dan keduanya membentuk suatu benua raksasa yang disebut sebagai [[Eurasia]]. Batas antara Asia dan Eropa sangat kabur sehingga beberapa negara seperti [[Turki]] kadang-kadang dapat dimasukkan ke Asia maupun ke Eropa. Beberapa bentang alam yang sering dipakai untuk memisahkan kedua benua tersebut adalah [[Dardanella]], [[Laut Marmara]], [[Selat Bosporus]], [[Laut Hitam]], [[Pegunungan Kaukasus]], [[Laut Kaspia]], [[Sungai Ural]] (atau [[Sungai Emba]]), dan [[Pegunungan Ural]] hingga [[Novaya Zemlya]]. Selain itu, Benua Asia dan Afrika juga memiliki perbatasan darat yang bertemu di sekitar [[Terusan Suez]].

'''Asia''' adalah [[benua]] terbesar dan terpadat di dunia, mencakup sekitar 44,58 juta kilometer persegi, atau hampir 30% dari total luas daratan di bumi. Terletak terutama di belahan bumi utara dan timur, Asia berbatasan dengan [[Samudra Arktik]] di utara, [[Samudra Pasifik]] di timur, [[Samudra Hindia]] di selatan, [[Laut Merah]] dan [[Eropa]] di barat.<ref name = 'KBBID Asia'>

Benua ini memiliki keanekaragaman geografi yang luar biasa, dari gurun di [[Timur Tengah]] dan [[Asia Tengah]] hingga hutan hujan tropis di [[Asia Tenggara]], serta memiliki gunung tertinggi di dunia, yaitu [[Gunung Everest]]. Benua yang telah lama menjadi rumah bagi sebagian besar populasi [[manusia]], merupakan tempat bagi banyak [[peradaban]] pertama.
 
Secara historis, Asia merupakan tempat lahirnya banyak peradaban kuno seperti [[Mesopotamia]], [[Lembah Sungai Indus]], [[Tiongkok]], dan [[Persia]], yang memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan, seni, filsafat, agama, dan perdagangan dunia. Asia juga menjadi pusat penyebaran beberapa agama besar seperti [[Hindu]], [[Buddha]], [[Islam]], dan [[Kristen]]. Kontinuitas sejarah yang kaya ini, disertai dengan keragaman budaya, bahasa, dan tradisi, menjadikan Asia sebagai salah satu kawasan paling dinamis dan beragam di dunia. Hingga kini, Asia tetap menjadi pusat ekonomi global, terutama dengan munculnya kekuatan ekonomi seperti [[Tiongkok]], [[Jepang]], [[India]], dan [[Korea Selatan]].
 
Dalam hal demografi, Asia dihuni oleh lebih dari 4,7 miliar orang, yang mewakili sekitar 60% populasi dunia.<ref>{{cite journal | url=http://www.economist.com/diversions/millennium/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=346605 | title=Like herrings in a barrel | journal=The Economist | date=23 Desember 1999 | issue=Millennium issue: Population | publisher=The ''Economist'' online, The Economist Group | access-date=9 Februari 2014 | archive-date=4 Januari 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100104100155/http://www.economist.com/diversions/millennium/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=346605 | dead-url=yes }}.</ref> Benua ini terdiri dari 49 negara yang diakui secara internasional, dengan beberapa negara, seperti [[Rusia]] dan [[Turki]], memiliki wilayah yang melintasi batas antara Asia dan [[Eropa]].

== Etimologi ==
Asia berasal dari [[bahasa Yunani kuno]], “''Ἀσία''” (Asía), yang merujuk pada wilayah yang terletak di sebelah timur [[Eropa]]. Istilah ini kemungkinan pertama kali digunakan oleh orang-orang [[Yunani kuno]] untuk merujuk pada wilayah [[Anatolia]], yang sekarang merupakan bagian dari [[Turki]] modern. Pada awalnya, kata "Asia" digunakan oleh [[Herodotus]] (sekitar abad ke-5 SM) untuk menyebutkan dataran tinggi [[Anatolia]] dan daerah di sekitarnya, tetapi kemudian penggunaannya berkembang untuk mencakup seluruh benua.
sebelum bercerita saya atas nama muh. jafar akan membuat organisasi baru yang bernama : "thunder JF"
Kata "Asia" masuk kedalam [[bahasa Indonesia]], melalui [[bahasa Belanda]], dari [[Yunani]] Kuno Ασία (Asia; lihat juga daftar nama nama tempat tradisional Yunani). Nama ini pertama kali dicoba di Herodotus (pada 440 sebelum masehi), dimana mengacu pada Asia Kecil; atau, dengan maksud menggambarkan Perang Persia, kepada Kerajaan Persia sebagai musuh Yunani dan Mesir. Meski sebelum Herodotus, Homer mengetahui celah Troya bernama Asios, anak laki laki Hyrtacus, penguasa atas beberapa kota, dan dimana dia menggambarkan rawa rawa sebagai "ασιος" (ilias 2, 461). Istilah Yunani yang diturunkan dari ''Assuwa'', suatu konfiderasi negara negara di Anatolia Barat pada abad ke 14 sebelum masehi. Hittite assu - "Bagus" kemungkinan adalah bagian dari nama itu.
 
Asal mula kata "Asia" sendiri tidak sepenuhnya jelas, tetapi beberapa ahli bahasa dan sejarawan menduga bahwa nama ini berasal dari [[bahasa Akkadia]], bahasa yang digunakan di '''Mesopotamia kuno''', yang mengacu pada kata "''asu''," yang berarti "timur" atau "matahari terbit." Penafsiran ini didukung oleh pandangan geografis orang-orang [[Mesopotamia]], yang melihat Asia sebagai wilayah di sebelah timur mereka, tempat matahari terbit. Teori lain menyatakan bahwa istilah tersebut mungkin berasal dari nama lokal yang digunakan oleh [[bangsa Lidia]], kelompok masyarakat kuno yang hidup di [[Anatolia]] barat, tetapi bukti linguistik yang mendukung hipotesis ini lebih terbatas.
Selain itu, pokok asal usul kata dari istilah itu kemungkinan dari kata [[bahasa Akkadia|Akkadia]] (w)aṣû(m), yang masih kerabat [[bahasa Ibrani|kata Ibrani]] יצא, yang berarti "keluar" atau "naik", mengacu ke arah [[matahari]] pada saat fajar (matahari terbit) di [[Timur Tengah]], dan juga nampaknya berhubungan dengan kata [[bahasa Fenisia|Fenisia]] asa yang berarti timur. In kontras mungkin dengan asal usul kata yang diusulkan Eropah, dari bahasa Arab dan Parsi erēbu "masuk" atau "terbenam" (bagi matahari). Meskipun begitu, asal usul pengharapan Mesoppotamia atau Timur Tengah tak akan menjelaskan bagaimana istilah "Asia" pertama datang yang dipadukan dengan Anatolia sebagai tinggal dibarat dari bahasa daerah Arab Persia.
 
Seiring berjalannya waktu, istilah "Asia" berkembang penggunaannya, khususnya setelah penaklukan oleh [[Alexander Agung]] pada abad ke-4 SM, yang memperluas pemahaman geografis [[orang Yunani]] tentang dunia. Selama periode [[Kekaisaran Romawi]] dan periode selanjutnya, istilah ini digunakan untuk menggambarkan wilayah yang jauh lebih luas daripada [[Anatolia]], mencakup semua wilayah yang kini dianggap sebagai bagian dari benua Asia, termasuk [[Asia Barat]], [[Asia Tengah]], dan akhirnya seluruh benua yang kita kenal sekarang.

[[File:Mongol dominions1.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.25|[[Kekaisaran Mongol]]ia pada tingkat terbesarnya. Area abu-abu adalah [[Kekaisaran Timuriyah]].]]
 
Sejarah Asia dapat dilihat sebagai sejarah yang berbeda dari beberapa wilayah pesisir di pinggiran, seperti Asia Timur, Asia Selatan, Asia Tenggara, dan Timur Tengah, yang dihubungkan oleh massa interior [[stepa]] Asia Tengah. Pinggiran pesisir merupakan rumah bagi beberapa peradaban paling awal yang diketahui di dunia, dan masing-masing berkembang di sekitar lembah sungai yang subur. Peradaban di [[Mesopotamia]], [[Peradaban Lembah Sungai Indus|Lembah Indus]] dan [[Sungai Kuning]] memiliki banyak kesamaan. Peradaban ini mungkin telah bertukar teknologi dan ide seperti [[matematika]] dan [[roda]]. Inovasi lain, seperti menulis, tampaknya dikembangkan secara individual di setiap daerah. Kota, negara bagian, dan kerajaan berkembang di dataran rendah ini.
 
Wilayah stepa tengah telah lama dihuni oleh pengembara berkuda yang dapat menjangkau seluruh wilayah [[stepa]] Asia. Ekspansi paling awal dari stepa adalah [[Proto-Indo-Eropa|Indo-Eropa]] yang menyebarkan bahasa mereka ke Timur Tengah, Asia Selatan, dan perbatasan Cina, di mana [[Bangsa Tokharia]] tinggal. Bagian paling utara Asia, termasuk sebagian besar [[Siberia]], sebagian besar tidak dapat diakses oleh pengembara stepa, karena hutan lebat, iklim, dan [[tundra]]. Daerah-daerah ini sangat jarang penduduknya hingga saat ini.
 
Pusat dan pinggiran sebagian besar dipisahkan oleh pegunungan dan gurun. Pegunungan [[Kaukasus]] dan [[Himalaya]] serta gurun [[Gurun Karakum|Karakum]] dan [[Gurun Gobi|Gobi]] membentuk penghalang yang hanya bisa dilintasi oleh penunggang kuda stepa dengan susah payah. Sementara penduduk kota lebih maju secara teknologi dan sosial, dalam banyak kasus mereka tidak dapat berbuat banyak dalam aspek militer untuk bertahan melawan gerombolan stepa yang berkuda. Namun, dataran rendah tidak memiliki padang rumput terbuka yang cukup untuk mendukung pasukan kuda yang besar; untuk alasan ini dan lainnya, [[pengembara]] yang menaklukkan negara-negara di Cina, India, dan Timur Tengah sering mendapati diri mereka beradaptasi dengan masyarakat lokal yang lebih makmur.
 
Kekalahan [[Khalifah|Kekhalifahan]] Islam atas kekaisaran [[Kekaisaran Romawi Timur|Bizantium]] dan Persia menyebabkan Asia Barat dan bagian selatan Asia Tengah dan bagian barat Asia Selatan berada di bawah kendalinya selama [[Penaklukan Muslim Awal|penaklukannya]] pada abad ke-7. [[Kekaisaran Mongol]] menaklukkan sebagian besar Asia pada abad ke-13, wilayah yang membentang dari Cina hingga Eropa. Sebelum invasi Mongol, [[Dinasti Song]] dilaporkan memiliki sekitar 120 juta warga; sensus 1300 yang mengikuti invasi melaporkan sekitar 60 juta orang.<ref>Ping-ti Ho.

[[Maut Hitam|Black Death]] adalah salah satu [[pandemi]] yang paling menghancurkan dalam sejarah manusia, diperkirakan berasal dari dataran gersang di Asia Tengah, di mana pandemi tersebut kemudian menyebar di sepanjang [[Jalur Sutra]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/middle_ages/blackdisease_01.shtml |title=History – Black Death |publisher=BBC |date=17 February 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120605000815/http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/middle_ages/blackdisease_01.shtml |archive-date=5 June 2012}}</ref>
 
[[Kekaisaran Rusia]] mulai meluas ke Asia sejak abad ke-17, dan pada akhirnya akan menguasai seluruh Siberia dan sebagian besar Asia Tengah pada akhir abad ke-19. [[Kesultanan Utsmaniyah|Kekaisaran Ottoman]] kemudian menguasai [[Anatolia]], sebagian besar Timur Tengah, Afrika Utara, dan Balkan sejak pertengahan abad ke-16 dan seterusnya. Pada abad ke-17, [[Orang Manchu]] menaklukkan Tiongkok dan mendirikan [[Dinasti Qing]]. [[Kesultanan Mughal]] Islam dan [[Kemaharajaan Maratha|Kekaisaran Maratha]] Hindu menguasai sebagian besar India pada abad ke-16 dan ke-18.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sen |first1=Sailendra Nath |title=An Advanced History of Modern India |page=11 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bXWiACEwPR8C&pg=PA1941-IA82 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200422184802/https://books.google.com/books?id=bXWiACEwPR8C&pg=PA1941-IA82 |archive-date=22 April 2020 |isbn=978-0-230-32885-3 |year=2010 }}</ref> [[Kekaisaran Jepang]] menguasai sebagian besar Asia Timur dan sebagian besar Asia Tenggara, Nugini, dan pulau-pulau Pasifik hingga akhir [[Perang Dunia II]].

Asia memiliki fitur iklim yang sangat beragam. Iklim Asia berkisar dari arktik dan subarktik di Siberia hingga tropis di India selatan dan Asia Tenggara. Beberapa rentang suhu harian terbesar di Bumi terjadi di bagian barat Asia. Sirkulasi monsun mendominasi di bagian selatan dan timur, karena kehadiran pegunungan Himalaya yang memaksa terbentuknya suhu rendah yang menarik kelembapan selama musim panas. Bagian barat daya benua itu cukup panas. Siberia adalah salah satu tempat terdingin di Belahan Bumi Utara, dan dapat menjadi sumber massa udara Arktik untuk Amerika Utara. Tempat paling aktif di Bumi untuk aktivitas siklon tropis terletak di timur laut [[Filipina]] dan selatan Jepang.

[[Perubahan iklim]] berdampak besar pada banyak negara di benua ini. Sebuah survei yang dilakukan pada tahun 2010 oleh pertanian analisis risiko global [[Maplecroft]] mengidentifikasi 16 negara yang sangat [[Perubahan iklim|rentan terhadap perubahan iklim]]. Kerentanan setiap negara dihitung menggunakan 42 indikator sosial, ekonomi dan lingkungan, yang mengidentifikasi kemungkinan dampak perubahan iklim selama 30 tahun ke depan. Negara-negara Asia seperti [[Perubahan iklim di Indonesia|Indonesia]], [[Bangladesh]], [[India]], [[Filipina]], [[Thailand]], [[Tiongkok]] dan [[Sri Lanka]] adalah di antara 16 negara menghadapi risiko ekstrim dari perubahan iklim.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Asia tops climate change's 'most vulnerable' list|url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20827832-400-asia-tops-climate-changes-most-vulnerable-list/|access-date=17 December 2020|website=New Scientist|language=en-US|archive-date=13 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210413222219/https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20827832-400-asia-tops-climate-changes-most-vulnerable-list/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Which countries are most threatened by and vulnerable to climate change?|url=https://www.iberdrola.com/environment/top-countries-most-affected-by-climate-change|access-date=17 December 2020|website=Iberdrola|language=en|archive-date=27 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127071529/https://www.iberdrola.com/environment/top-countries-most-affected-by-climate-change|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Global Climate Risk Index 2020 – World|url=https://reliefweb.int/report/world/global-climate-risk-index-2020|access-date=17 December 2020|website=ReliefWeb|language=en|archive-date=27 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127205336/https://reliefweb.int/report/world/global-climate-risk-index-2020|url-status=live}}</ref> Beberapa pergeseran sudah terjadi.

(NB: Sejumlah ekonomi supernasional lebih besar, seperti [[Uni Eropa]] (UE), [[Perjanjian Perdagangan Bebas Amerika Utara]] (NAFTA) atau [[Kerja Sama Ekonomi Asia Pasifik|APEC]]).

Asia adalah benua terbesar di dunia dengan margin yang cukup besar, dan kaya akan sumber daya alam, seperti minyak bumi, hutan, ikan, air, beras, tembaga, dan perak. Manufaktur di Asia secara tradisional terkuat di Asia Timur dan Tenggara, terutama di Tiongkok, [[Taiwan]], Korea Selatan, Jepang, India, Filipina, dan Singapura. Jepang dan Korea Selatan terus mendominasi di bidang [[perusahaan multinasional]], tetapi Tiongkok dan India semakin membuat terobosan yang signifikan. Banyak perusahaan dari Eropa, Amerika Utara, Korea Selatan, dan Jepang beroperasi di negara-negara berkembang Asia untuk memanfaatkan pasokan tenaga kerja murah yang berlimpah dan infrastruktur yang relatif maju.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

Perdagangan antara negara-negara Asia dengan negara-negara di benua lain sebagian besar dilakukan di jalur laut yang penting bagi Asia. Rute utama individu telah muncul dari sini. Rute utama mengarah dari pantai Cina selatan melalui Hanoi ke Jakarta, Singapura, dan Kuala Lumpur melalui [[Selat Malaka]] melalui Kolombo di Sri Lanka ke ujung selatan India melalui Malé ke [[Mombasa]] di Afrika Timur, dari dari sana ke [[Jibuti]], lalu melalui Laut Merah melewati [[Terusan Suez]] ke Mediterania, ke sana melalui Haifa, Istanbul, dan [[Athena (kota)|Athena]] ke Adriatik atas ke hub Italia utara di [[Trieste]] dengan koneksi relnya ke Eropa Tengah dan Timur atau lebih jauh ke [[Barcelona]] dan di sekitar Spanyol dan Prancis ke pelabuhan utara Eropa. Bagian yang jauh lebih kecil dari lalu lintas barang berjalan melalui Afrika Selatan ke Eropa. Bagian yang sangat signifikan dari lalu lintas barang Asia dilakukan melintasi Pasifik menuju [[Los Angeles]] dan [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]]. Berbeda dengan jalur laut, Jalur Sutra melalui jalur darat ke Eropa di satu sisi masih dalam pembangunan dan di sisi lain cakupannya jauh lebih kecil.

== Pembagian wilayah ==
 
[[Berkas:Asia-map.png|thumb|Peta Asia]]
[[Berkas:Asia-map.png|jmpl|Peta Asia]]
 
Sebagaimana telah disebutkan, Asia dapat dianggap sebagai suatu bagian dari benua Eurasia yang lebih besar. Untuk pembagian berdasarkan istilah ini, lihat [[Eurasia Utara]] dan [[Eurasia Tengah]].
 
Asia sendiri sering dibagi-bagi menjadi beberapa wilayah:
 
=== [[Asia Utara]] ===
* [[Rusia]]
 
=== [[Asia Tengah]] ===
 
Tidak ada konsensus pasti tentang penggunaan istilah ini, namun biasanya mencakup
Tidak ada konsensus pasti tentang penggunaan istilah ini, namun biasanya mencakup:
* [[Uzbekistan]], [[Tajikistan]], [[Turkimenistan]], [[Kirgiztan]], [[Kazakstan]], [[Armenia]], [[Russia]], [[Azerbaijan]].
 
* [[Uzbekistan]], [[Tajikistan]], [[Turkmenistan]], [[Kirgizstan]], [[Kazakhstan]]
 
=== [[Asia Timur]] ===
Istilah ini mencakup
* Kepulauan [[Samudra Pasifik]] [[Taiwan]] dan [[Jepang]].
* [[Korea Utara]] dan [[Korea Selatan]] di [[Semenanjung Korea]].
* [[Republik Rakyat Cina]].
 
Asia Timur disebut juga Timur Jauh, karena orang Eropa melihat letak geografisnya sangat jauh dari Eropa. Istilah ini mencakup:
 
* Kepulauan [[Samudra Pasifik]], dan [[Jepang]]
* di [[Semenanjung Korea]]: [[Korea Utara]] dan [[Korea Selatan]]
* [[Republik Rakyat Tiongkok]], daerah administratif khusus [[Hong Kong|Hongkong]] dan [[Makau]], dan wilayah yang dipertentangkan [[Tibet]] dan [[Taiwan]]
*[[Mongolia]]
=== [[Asia Tenggara]] ===
 
Daerah ini mencakup [[Semenanjung Malaka]], [[Indochina]] dan kepulauan-kepulauan di [[Samudra Hindia]] dan [[Samudra Pasifik]]. Negara-negara yang termasuk daerah ini adalah:
 
* Di daratan Asia Tenggara: [[Myanmar]], [[Thailand]], [[Laos]], [[Kamboja]] dan [[Vietnam]].
* Di daratan Asia Tenggara: [[Myanmar]], [[Thailand]], [[Laos]], [[Kamboja]], dan [[Vietnam]].
* Di Kepulauan Asia Tenggara: [[Malaysia]], [[Filipina]], [[Singapura]], [[Indonesia]], [[Brunei]] dan [[Timor-Leste]].
 
[[Malaysia]] dibagi menjadi dua bagian oleh [[Laut ChinaTiongkok Selatan]], dan daratan, daratan pertama di [[Semenanjung Malaka]], dan yang kedua ada di [[Pulau Kalimantan]]. Dengan ini mempunyai bagian daratan dan bagian kepulauan
 
Nama dua kepulauan Malaysia:
* Kepulauan Malaysia Timur terdapat pada Pulau Kalimantan. Terdiri dari dua negara bagian Sabah dan Serawak.
* Kepulauan Malaysia Barat terdapat pada sebelah selatan Thailand. Terdiri dari Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan, Johor, Perak, Pahang, dll.
 
Pulau Papua di bagian barat dan pulau Timor di bagian selatan yang menjadi milik [[Indonesia]] dimasukkan ke Asia Tenggara karena Politik
 
=== [[Asia Selatan]] ===
 
Asia Selatan terdiri dari:
 
* [[Negara-negara Himalaya]]: [[India]], [[Pakistan]], [[Nepal]], [[Bhutan]] dan [[Bangladesh]]
* [[Negara-negara Himalaya]]: [[SamuderaIndia]] Hindia(julukan untuk negara [[India]]: adalah [[SriAnak Lankabenua Asia]] atau [[Asia muka]]), [[Pakistan]], [[Nepal]], [[Bhutan]] dan [[MaladewaBangladesh]].
* Julukan untuk Negara-negara [[IndiaSamudera Hindia]] adalah : [[AnakSri benua AsiaLanka]], [[Asia muka]].
[[Maladewa]] dan [[Wilayah Samudra Hindia Britania]]
* [[Afganistan]] dan [[Iran]]
 
=== [[Asia Barat]] ===
 
Sering dipanggil dengan nama [[Timur Tengah]] meski istilah ini juga kadang digunakan untuk merujuk kepada negara-negara di [[Afrika Utara]]. Asia Barat dapat dibagi lagi kepada:
 
* Negara pulau [[Siprus]] di [[Laut Tengah]].
* [[LevantGeorgia]] ataudan [[Timur Dekat]],wilayah yang termasukdipertentangkan [[SuriahAbkhazia]], [[Yordania]],dan [[Lebanon]]Ossetia dan [[IrakSelatan]].
* [[Armenia]], [[Azerbaijan]], dan wilayah yang dipertentangkan [[Republik Artsakh]]
* [[Jazirah Arab]], termasuk [[Arab Saudi]], [[Uni Emirat Arab]], [[Bahrain]], [[Qatar]], [[Oman]], [[Yaman]] dan kadang juga [[Kuwait]].
* di [[Laut Tengah]]: negara pulau [[Siprus]], dan wilayah yang dipertentangkan [[Siprus Utarа|Republik Turki Siprus Utara]]
* Daerah [[Kaukasus]], termasuk [[Azerbaijan]] dan [[Armenia]].
* di [[Levant]] atau [[Timur Dekat]]: [[Suriah]], [[Yordania]], [[Lebanon]] dan [[Irak]]
* [[Hamparan Iran]], yang terdiri dari [[Iran]] dan bagian negara-negara lain.
* di [[Jazirah Arab]]: [[Arab Saudi]], [[Uni Emirat Arab]], [[Bahrain]], [[Qatar]], [[Oman]], [[Yaman]], [[Palestina]] dan [[Kuwait]]
* di [[Semenanjung Sinai]]: [[Mesir]]
 
Juga lihat [[Negara-negara Teluk]] untuk pengelompokan berbeda yang berisi beberapa negara-negara di atas.
 
== Kepadatan penduduk ==
 
[[Berkas:AsiaContour.svg|thumb|Kontur Asia]]<!-- minus Papua? -->
[[Berkas:AsiaContour.svg|jmpl|Kontur Asia]]<!-- minus Papua? -->
 
Berikut ini adalah daftar negara-negara dan wilayah menurut [[kepadatan penduduknya]] dalam jumlah penduduk/km<sup>2</sup>.
 
Berbeda dengan angka-angka dalam artikel negara-negara, angka-angka pada tabel ini didasarkan pada area yang mencakup perairan ([[danau]], reservoir, [[sungai]]) dan karenanya mungkin angkanya lebih kecil di sini.
 
Seluruh [[Rusia]], [[Mesir]], dan [[Turki]] disebutkan di dalam tabel ini, meskipun hanya sebagian dari wilayah negara-negara itu berada di Asia. [[Georgia]], [[Armenia]], dan [[Azerbaijan]] juga dicantumkan di sini, meskipun negara-negara itu juga dapat dianggap sebagai bagian dari [[Eropa]].
 
Tepi Barat dan [[Jalur Gaza]] tidak dicantumkan secara terpisah, melainkan digabungkan sebagai bagian dari wilayah [[Palestina]].
 
Penjelasan di atas memberikan pemahaman tentang flora dan fauna yang hidup di daerah benua Asia yang disesuaikan dengan iklim yang dimiliki. Selanjutnya, bagaimanakah keadaan penduduk di benua Asia. Yang dapat dijelaskan pada pembahasan di bawah ini.

Secara tradisional batasannya adalah bagian dari massa benua yang terbentang dari Afrika - EuraisaAfrika–Eurasia terletak ditimurdi timur [[Terusan Suez]], pegunungan Ural dan selatan dari Pegunungan CaucasusKaukasus dan Laut KaspiKaspia serta Laut Hitam. Sekitar 60% penduduk dunia tinggal di Asia, yang mana 2% diantaranyadi antaranya menempati bagian utara dan separoseparuh bagian pedalaman seperti (Siberia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, bagian barat Uzbekistan dan Turkmenistan); yang 98% tinggal diseparodi separuh sisa lainnya.

Sejarah., as being from Semitic erēbu "to enter" or "set" (of the sun). However, an originally Mesopotamian or Middle Eastern perspective would not explain how the term "Asia" first came to be associated with Anatolia as lying west of the Semitic speaking area.
 
== Flora dan fauna ==
 
Flora dan fauna yang ada di benua Asia dapat dijelaskan sebagai berikut. Daerah yang memiliki iklim tropis basah akan tertutup oleh hutan hujan tropis dengan pohon–pohon yang memiliki daun lebar dan heterogen. Ada juga hutan musim yang pohon–pohonnya agak jarang dan homogen. Hewan yang hidup di iklim tropis basah, antara lain sejenis kera, badak, dan banteng.
History
Medieval Europeans considered Asia as a continent, a distinct landmass. The European concept of the three continents in the Old World goes back to classical antiquity with the etymology of the word rooted in the ancient Near and Middle East. The demarcation between Asia and Africa is the Isthmus of Suez and the Red Sea. The boundary between Asia and Europe is commonly believed to run through the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus, the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea, the Ural River to its source, and the Ural Mountains to the Kara Sea near Kara, Russia. However, modern discovery of the extent of Africa and Asia made this definition rather anachronistic, especially in the case of Asia, which would have several regions that would be considered distinct landmasses if these criteria were used (for example, South Asia and East Asia). Geologists and physical geographers no longer consider Asia and Europe to be separate continents. It is either defined in terms of geological landmasses (physical geography) or tectonic plates (geology). In the former case, Europe is a western peninsula of Eurasia or the Africa-Eurasia landmass. In the latter, Europe and Asia are still part of the Eurasian plate, which excludes the Arabian and Indian tectonic plates. In human geography, there are two schools of thought. One school follows historical convention and treats Europe and Asia as different continents, categorizing Europe, East Asia (the Orient), South Asia (British India), and the Middle East (Arabia and Persia) as specific regions for more detailed analysis. The other schools equate the word "continent" in terms of geographical region when referring to Europe, and use the term "region" to describe Asia in terms of physical geography. Because in linguistic terms, "continent" implies a distinct landmass, it is becoming increasingly common to substitute the term "region" for "continent" to avoid the problem of disambiguation altogether.
 
Kemudian, di daerah yang beriklim kering. Pada daerah beriklim kering akan dijumpai tumbuhan gurun yang memiliki masa tumbuh yang singkat. Tumbuhan yang dapat dijumpai pada daerah yang miliki iklim kering, yaitu sejenis kaktus berduri. Hewan yang dapat hidup di wilayah beriklim kering, antara lain hyena, singa, unta, dan keledai.
There is much confusion in European languages with the term "Asian". Because a category implies homogenity, the term "Asian" almost always refers to a subcategory of people from Asia rather than referring to "Asian" defined in term of "Asia". The fact that in American English, Asian refers to East Asian (Orientals), while in British English, Asian refers to South Asian reflects this confusion. Sometimes, it is not even clear exactly what "Asia" consists of. Some definitions exclude Turkey, the Middle East, and/or Russia. The term is sometimes used more strictly in reference to Asia Pacific, which does not include the Middle East or Russia, but does include islands in the Pacific Ocean — a number of which may also be considered part of Australasia and/or Oceania. Asia contains the Indian subcontinent, Arabian subcontinent, as well as a piece of the North American plate in Siberia.
 
Selanjutnya, pada daerah sekeliling gurun yang memiliki curah hujan lebih besar, biasanya ditumbuhi oleh padang rumput kering. Pada daerah yang agak lembap, terdapat hutan sabana. Hewan yang hidup di daerah gurun dengan curah hujan yang lebih besar dan lembap, antara lain rusa, zebra, jerapah, yak, zebu, banteng, kuda, harimau, serigala, singa, dan jaguar.
 
Pada daerah sekitar kutub terdapat tanaman yang berdaun jarum dengan hutan campuran hutan cemara atau ''conifer''. Kemudian, pada daerah di sepanjang pantai Laut Artik merupakan suatu daerah yang tidak terdapat pohon. Tumbuhan yang dapat ditemui pada daerah tersebut, biasanya sejenis lumut atau yang dikenal dengan hutan tundra. Hewan yang dapat hidup di daerah tersebut yaitu hewan caribou atau sejenis rusa, beruang, dan serigala.
Geographical regions
As already mentioned, Asia is a subregion of Eurasia. For further subdivisions based on that term, see North Eurasia and Central Eurasia.
 
== Geografi politik ==
Some Asian countries stretch beyond Asia. See Bicontinental country for details about the borderline cases between Asia and Europe, Asia and Africa, and Asia and Oceania.
{{Utama|Politik Asia}}
 
{{Asia Labelled Map}}
The following subregions of Asia are traditionally recognized:
 
Central Asia
East Asia
Far East
North Asia
South Asia (or Indian Subcontinent)
Southeast Asia
Southwest Asia (or Middle East or West Asia)
 
Central Asia
There is no absolute consensus in the usage of this term. Usually, Central Asia includes:
 
the Central Asian Republics of Kazakhstan (excluding its small European territory), Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Afghanistan, Mongolia, and the western regions of China are also sometimes included.
Former Soviet states in the Caucasus region.
Central Asia is currently geopolitically important because international disputes and conflicts over oil pipelines, Nagorno-Karabakh, and Chechnya, as well as the presence of U.S. military and U.K. military forces in Afghanistan.
 
 
East Asia
This area includes:
 
The Pacific Ocean island countries of Taiwan and Japan.
North and South Korea on the Korean Peninsula.
China, but sometimes only the eastern regions
Sometimes the nations of Mongolia and Vietnam are also included in East Asia.
 
More informally, Southeast Asia is included in East Asia on some occasions.

North Asia
<references group="note"/>
This term is rarely used by geographers, but usually it refers to the bigger Asian part of Russia, also known as Siberia. Sometimes the northern parts of other Asian nations, such as Kazakhstan are also included in Northern Asia.
 
 
South Asia (or Indian Subcontinent)
South Asia is also referred to as the Indian Subcontinent. It includes:
 
The Himalayan States of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh.
The Indian Ocean nations of Sri Lanka and the Maldives. India's Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep islands also lie in the Indian Ocean.
The peninsular India (also known as the Deccan Plateau)
Sometimes Afghanistan is also included into this category.
 
Southeast Asia
This region contains the Malay Peninsula, Indochina and islands in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. The countries it contains are:
 
In mainland Southeast Asia, the countries Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
In Maritime Southeast Asia, the countries of Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines, Singapore and Indonesia ( some of the Indonesian islands also lie in the Melanesia region of Oceania). East Timor (also Melanesian) is sometimes included too.
The country of Malaysia is divided in two by the South China Sea, and thus has both a mainland and island part.
 
 
Southwest Asia (or Middle East, Near East or West Asia)
This can also be called by the Western term Middle East, which is commonly used by Europeans and Americans. Middle East (to some interpretations) is often used to also refer to some countries in North Africa. Southwest Asia can be further divided into:
 
Anatolia (i.e. Asia Minor), constituting the Asian part of Turkey.
The island nation of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Levant or Near East, which includes Syria, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and the Asian portion of Egypt.
The Arabian peninsula, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Yemen and Kuwait.
The Caucasus region (which straddles both Asia and Europe), namely Transcaucasia, including a small portion of Russia and, arguably, most if not all of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.
The Iranian Plateau, containing Iran and parts of other neighbouring nations.

In terms of gross domestic product ( PPP), the largest national economy within Asia is that of the PRC ( People's Republic of China). Over the last decade, China's and India's economies have been growing rapidly, both with an average annual growth rate above 7%. PRC is the world's second largest economy after the US, followed by Japan and India as the world's third and fourth largest economies respectively (then followed by the European nations: Germany, U.K., France and Italy).
 
In terms of exchange rates (nominal GDP) however, Japan has the largest economy in Asia and second largest of any single nation in the world, after surpassing the Soviet Union (measured in Net Material Product) in 1986 and Germany in 1968. (NB: A number of supernational economies are larger, such as the EU, NAFTA or APEC). Economic growth in Asia since World War II to the 1990's had been concentrated in few countries of the Pacific Rim, and has spread more recently to other regions. In the late 80's and early 90's Japan's economy was almost as large as that of the rest of the continent combined. In 1995, Japan's economy nearly equalled the USA to tie the largest economy in the world for a day, after the Japanese currency reached a record high of 79 yen. However, since then Japan's currency has corrected and China has grown to be the second largest Asian economy, followed by India in terms of exchange rates. It is expected that China will surpass Japan in currency terms to have the largest nominal GDP in Asia within a decade or two.

Natural resources
Asia is by a considerable margin the largest continent in the world, and is rich in natural resources, such as Petroleum and iron.
 
High productivity in agriculture, especially of rice, allows high population density of countries in the warm and humid area. Other main agricultural products include wheat and chicken.
 
Forestry is extensive throughout Asia except Southwest and Central Asia. Fishing is a major source of food in Asia, particularly in Japan.
 
 
Manufacturing
Manufacturing in Asia has traditionally been strongest in East and Southeast Asia, particularly in PRC, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Singapore. The industry varies from manufacturing cheap goods such as toys to high-tech goods such as computers and cars. Many companies from Europe, North America, and Japan have significant operations in the developing Asia to take avantage of its abundant supply of cheap labor.
 
One of the major employers in manufacturing in Asia is the textile industry. Much of the world's supply of clothing and footwear now originates in Southeast Asia.
 
 
Financial and other services
Asia has three main financial centers. They are in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo. Call centers are becoming major employers in India and the Philippines, due to the availablity of many well-educated English speakers. The rise of the business process outsourcing industry has seen the rise of India and China as the other financial centers.
 
 
Early history
 
Map of Asia, 1892.The history of Asia can be seen as the distinct histories of several peripheral coastal regions, East Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East, linked by the interior mass of the Central Asian steppe.
 
The coastal periphery was home to some of the world's earliest known civilizations, with each of the three regions developing early civilizations around fertile river valleys. The civilizations in Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and the Yangtze shared many similarities and likely exchanged technologies and ideas such as mathematics and the wheel. Other notions such as that of writing likely developed individually in each area. Cities, states and empires developed in these lowlands.
 
The steppe region had long been inhabited by mounted nomads, and from the central steppes they could reach all areas of Asia. The earliest known such central expansion out of the steppe is that of the Indo-Europeans, who spread their languages into the Middle East, India, and in the Tocharians to the borders of China. The northern part of Asia, covering much of Siberia, was inaccessible to the steppe nomads, due to the dense forests and the tundra. These areas were very sparsely populated.
 
The centre and periphery were kept separate by mountains and deserts. The Caucasus, Himalaya, Karakum Desert and Gobi Desert formed barriers that the steppe horsemen could only cross with difficulty. While technologically and culturally, the urban city dwellers were more advanced, they could do little militarily to defend against the mounted hordes of the steppe. However, the lowlands did not have enough open grasslands to support a large horsebound force. Thus the nomads who conquered states in China, India, and the Middle East were soon forced to adapt to the local societies.
 
 
Population density
The following table lists countries and dependencies by population density in inhabitants and km2.
 
Unlike the figures in the country articles, the figures in this table are based on areas including inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers) and may therefore be lower here.
 
The whole of Egypt, Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey are referred to in the table, although they may be considered to be only partly in Asia. Asia also contains about 60% of the world's population. Leaving the other 40% of the world's population to other continents.
