The Americas, or America,[5][6][7] also known as the New World, are the combined continental landmasses of North America and South America,[8][9] in the Western Hemisphere.[10] Along with their associated islands, they cover 8.3% of the Earth's total surface area (28.4% of its land area). The topography is dominated by the American Cordillera, a long chain of mountains that run the length of the west coast. The flatter eastern side of the Americas is dominated by large river basins, such as the Amazon, Mississippi, and La Plata. Since the Americas extend 14,000 km (8,700 mi) from north to south, the climate and ecology vary widely, from the arctic tundra of Northern Canada, Greenland, and Alaska, to the tropical rain forests in Central America and South America.
Humans first settled the Americas from Asia between 40,000 BCE and 15,000 BCE. A second migration of Na-Dene speakers followed later from Asia. The subsequent migration of the Inuit into the neoarctic around 3500 BCE completed what is generally regarded as the settlement by the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The first known European settlement in the Americas was by the Norse explorer Leif Ericson.[11] However the colonization never became permanent and was later abandoned. The voyages of Christopher Columbus from 1492 to 1502 resulted in permanent contact with European (and subsequently, other Old World) powers, which led to the Columbian exchange. Diseases introduced from Europe and Africa devastated the Indigenous peoples, and the European powers colonised the Americas.[12] Mass emigration from Europe, including large numbers of indentured servants, and forced immigration of African slaves largely replaced the Indigenous Peoples. Beginning with the American Revolution in 1776 and Haitian Revolution in 1791, the European powers began to decolonise the Americas. Currently, almost all of the population of the Americas resides in independent countries; however, the legacy of the colonisation and settlement by Europeans is that the Americas share many common cultural traits, most notably Christianity and the use of Indo-European languages; primarily Spanish, English, and Portuguese. More than 900 million people live in the Americas, the most populous countries being the United States, Brazil, and Mexico, the most populous cities being São Paulo, Mexico City and New York City.

Amerika ist ein Doppelkontinent, der aus Nordamerika (mit Zentralamerika) und Südamerika besteht. Man kann Amerika in Nord-, Mittel-, und Südamerika aufteilen.
Amerika erstreckt sich in seiner Nord-Süd-Achse vom 84. Breitengrad Nord (Kap Morris Jessup) bis zum 56. Breitengrad Süd (Kap Hoorn). Dies entspricht ca. 15.000 Kilometer Nord-Süd-Ausdehnung. Der östlichste Punkt liegt auf Grönland beim 11. Längengrad West und der westlichste ebenfalls in Nordamerika auf dem 172. Längengrad Ost auf der Aleuteninsel Attu. Der Doppelkontinent hat eine Landfläche von etwa 43 Millionen km² und ist damit etwas kleiner als Asien. In Amerika leben über 900 Millionen Menschen.
