Eurasia
Atlantic to Pacific
Eurasia is the landmass comprising Europe and Asia, treated as a single continent.
The term recognizes that no clear geographical boundary separates the two—the Ural Mountains serve as a conventional dividing line, but the land is continuous.
In geopolitics, Eurasia often emphasizes the strategic unity of this territory: Eurasian trade routes, the Eurasian steppe.
