Iraq is in Asia

.
Hi Buddy,
.

Did you know that now that I live in Iraq, I've lived on three of the seven continents in the world?

.

Iraq is in Asia.  Asia is the biggest continent there is!  You can see from the map that Iraq is in the southwest corner of Asia.  It's close to Africa, another big continent.  The southeast corner of Asia has lots of water and islands.

.

Iraq is in Asia because it is east of the Ural Mountains.  Europe and Asia are part of the same big land mass and are divided by big mountains called the Urals in Russia.  West of the Urals is Europe and east of the Urals is Asia.

.

Here is a map of the Ural Mountains.  They go from north to south, straight up and down this map.

Love you like the whole world,

Dad
