    $\begingroup$ @JBH How so? Both Asia and Africa have parts in both the southern and northern hemispheres in the real world. I don't see how having a larger continent would preclude that from being possible? Surely, if anything, it makes it more likely. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @JBH If you take arbitrary hemispheres then yes (unless the continent is bigger than half the planet's surface). I should have clarified that i meant Northern/Southern hemispheres. In other words is it possible for all the land to be located on one side of the equator. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ There we go. Please edit your body text, that last paragraph, to say "polar hemisphere." That makes me completely happy. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I don't think [map-making] is the correct tag here, but I did not remove it. What do others think? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Take a look at San Diego County, which is just 4,526 mi². In that area there is a mild Mediterranean climate, a coastal desert within that climate, cool foggy coasts, hot inland farming communities, a traditional desert with all the trappings, and mountains that get substantial snow every winter. I don't think you can have any decently sized continent that always has a mild climate. $\endgroup$
