Interesting fact: Continents are massive landmasses composed of various rock types, with weights measured in quintillions of kilograms.
The answer: A typical continent weighs approximately 2 to 3 quintillion kilograms (2 to 3 × 10^18 kg), depending on size and composition.
Continents are large, continuous expanses of land made primarily of continental crust, which is less dense than oceanic crust. Their weight depends on their area and average crust thickness, typically around 35 kilometers. For example, the continent of Africa weighs roughly 2.3 quintillion kilograms. This immense mass influences Earth's geology and tectonic activity.
