Band 6+: The pie charts below show the area and current population of the seven continents as a percentage of the total. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates the proportion of land area and population of the globe respectively.

In general, larger land are more likely to have more people lived. The vast majority of population lived in the largest region, Asia ; whilst the least amount of people in the tiniest continent, Oceania.

As shown in the upper pie chart, Asia has the biggest proportion of land at 30%, followed by Africa, which accounts for exactly one-fifth of total land area. Moreover, North America constitutes 16% of land, which is larger than Antarictica at 9%. South America is double that of Oceania, which was merely 6%. Europe is slightly larger than Oceania, with 7% of the total land.

In terms of the number of people, 61% of population lived in Asia, which is 5 times that of European at 12%. By comparison, African accounts for 13% of global population, which outnumbers the quantity of people lived in Europe. North American constitutes 8% of the total amount of people, whereas only 5.5% population in the world lived in South America. The population in Oceania and Antarictica is negligible.
