| Feb 21, 2019 at 19:35 | comment | added | Cyn | 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. | |

| Feb 21, 2019 at 19:28 | comment | added | MadCake - Reinstate Monica | @Cyn Ah i see: "This tag is about creating maps of physical features, not creating the physical features themselves. For that see the geography tag.". Seems like you are right about it. | |
| Feb 21, 2019 at 19:26 | comment | added | MadCake - Reinstate Monica | @Cyn I believe this is one of the considerations to be made when creating a plausible world map so why? | |
| Feb 21, 2019 at 19:21 | comment | added | Cyn | I don't think [map-making] is the correct tag here, but I did not remove it. What do others think? | |

| Feb 21, 2019 at 18:40 | comment | added | MadCake - Reinstate Monica | @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. | |
| Feb 21, 2019 at 18:39 | comment | added | AngelPray | @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. | |
