Step-by-step solution for: Continents and Oceans G1 worksheet
Let’s solve this step by step.
We have a world map with blank boxes — some are pink (for continents) and some are blue (for oceans). We also have labels at the bottom that we need to drag into the right places.
First, let’s identify what each color means:
- Pink dashed boxes = Continents
- Blue dashed boxes = Oceans
Now, let’s look at the labels we have:
Continents (pink labels):
- North America
- South America
- Europe
- Asia
- Africa
- Oceania
- Antarctica
Oceans (blue labels):
- Pacific Ocean
- Atlantic Ocean
- Arctic Ocean
- Indian Ocean
- Antarctic Ocean
---
Step 1: Place the continents.
Look at the green landmass in the top left — that’s North America. The pink box over it should be labeled “North America”.
Below that is another green landmass — that’s South America. Put “South America” there.
The yellow landmass in the middle is Africa. Label that.
The red landmass above Africa is Europe.
The big orange landmass to the right of Europe is Asia.
The purple landmass near the bottom right is Oceania (Australia and nearby islands).
The blue landmass at the very bottom is Antarctica.
So all 7 continents are placed.
---
Step 2: Place the oceans.
Blue boxes go on water areas.
Left side of the map (west of Americas) → That’s the Pacific Ocean.
Between Americas and Africa/Europe → That’s the Atlantic Ocean.
Above North America and Europe → That’s the Arctic Ocean.
Right side of Africa, below Asia → That’s the Indian Ocean.
Around Antarctica → That’s the Antarctic Ocean (also called Southern Ocean).
Wait — we have 5 ocean labels and 5 blue boxes? Let’s count the blue boxes on the map:
1. Left of North/South America → Pacific
2. Between Americas and Africa → Atlantic
3. Above North America → Arctic
4. Right of Africa, under Asia → Indian
5. Around Antarctica → Antarctic
Yes — 5 blue boxes, 5 ocean labels. Perfect.
---
Now, match each label to its correct spot.
Final placements:
Continents (pink boxes):
- Top left green → North America
- Bottom left green → South America
- Middle yellow → Africa
- Red above Africa → Europe
- Big orange → Asia
- Purple bottom right → Oceania
- Blue bottom → Antarctica
Oceans (blue boxes):
- Far left → Pacific Ocean
- Between Americas and Africa → Atlantic Ocean
- Top center (above North America) → Arctic Ocean
- Right of Africa → Indian Ocean
- Bottom around Antarctica → Antarctic Ocean
All labels used exactly once.
✔ Double-check: No duplicates, no missing labels.
Final Answer:
Place the labels as follows:
Continents:
- North America → over green landmass in northwest
- South America → over green landmass in southwest
- Africa → over yellow landmass in center
- Europe → over red landmass north of Africa
- Asia → over large orange landmass east of Europe
- Oceania → over purple landmass in southeast
- Antarctica → over blue landmass at bottom
Oceans:
- Pacific Ocean → far left blue box
- Atlantic Ocean → blue box between Americas and Africa
- Arctic Ocean → blue box at top center
- Indian Ocean → blue box east of Africa, south of Asia
- Antarctic Ocean → blue box surrounding Antarctica
