A continent is one of several large landmasses on Earth. They are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, with seven regions commonly regarded as continents – they are (from largest in size to smallest): Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.

Look for some books or on the Internet which are the highest point in the world. After submitting some photos and make a short description about it.
The highest point in the world, is the mount everest on the border of Nepal and China at 29,035 feet (8,850 meters). I was looking some pictures, and this mount is realy beautiful. we are so lucky for take it.
Thanks Yurany, You are right, We are so lucky for take it. On the other hand I want to share with you the highest point in the Peruvian Andes, above the Urubamba River, on a mountain called Machu Picchu, lies the Lost City of the Incas, which at one time was the centre of the greatest empire in South America. For four hundred years nobody kenw anything about Machu Picchu until the American historian and archaeologist Hiram Bingham discovered it, by chance, in 1911.
Other highest points on earth include the Qogir in Pakistan with 8.611 m,the Kangchenjunga in Nepal with 8.586 m, the kilimanjaro on Africa with 5.895 m and McKinley in Alaska's mountain range with 6.194 m.
I totally agree with what Katika said, those are also very high points. Cheers
Why not trying to say the opposite? Do you guys know what the lowest point on the planet is? Let me know, I'm clueless!! Regards.
"The Himalaya mountain range is situated in Asia, and extends to the countries of Bhutan, China, Nepal and India. Its name comes from Sanskrit, jimālaia, word composed Jima: 'snow' and Alai 'home. It is the highest mountain on Earth, with ten of the fourteen peaks over 8,000 meters, including Mount Everest, with its 8848 m, the highest mountain in the world."

The world's highest point is Mount Everest, is a mountain known as the forehead of the sky or the mother of the universe and is located in Asia.
However there are two low points on earth and are the Challenger abyss and the gulf coast of the Dead Sea.
What about Colombia? Here is some similar information in our country:
Elevation extremes: lowest point: Pacific Ocean 0 m; highest point: Pico Cristobal Colon 5,975 m note: nearby Pico Simon Bolivar also has the same elevation. Nice facts.
Hi lauris.marcela. interesting information about the lowest points on the planet. In the dead sea there is no life and nothing sinks. I saw some pictures and even people floats.
In South America the highest poit is Mount Aconcagua in the border of Argentina and Chile, in the Andes Mountain Chain. And Monik, you are right about Picos Colon and Bolivar in La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, one of the most beautiful places in Colombia.
