Answer:
Africa is a continent found on planet Earth.Africa is a fairly large continent. It is the second largest continent by land mass. It contains just over 20% of the planet's total land area. Planet Earth is round, so saying that Africa is in the "middle" is a bit goofy; however, most Mercator projection maps will show Africa in the middle of the map. Africa is nearly cut in half by the equator. The continent's most northern point is located at 37°21′ N, and its most southern point is 34°51′15″ S. The distance between those two points is about 5,000 miles. Interestingly, the distance from the continent's most western and eastern points is also nearly 5,000 miles (4,600 miles). The western most point is located at longitude 17°31′13″W, and the eastern most point is located at 51°27′52″ E. Africa's location is changing as well. Due to plate tectonics, the African continent is slowly moving northeast at a rate of about 2.15 cm per year
