The history on asia. how was it founded, who founded it and what year?
San Chi Yon-Pwang founded Asia in 1753 when he accidentally missed his target in a local mud throwing competition. The mud he threw flew outside of the playing field (which is located in today's Azerbaidjan), hit the ocean and started to grow. The local villagers noticed that within a couple of weeks, the mud grew and formed a continent. San is said to have exclaimed "Asi!!" upon finding out, which literally means "Golly Gee". Hence the name Asia. Hope it helps.

How do rivers benefit agriculture?
As Raj Puri Goswami says, rivers are used for both irrigation and through dam networks, generating energy. That is the case on many continents.In the US, one of the greatest natural resources we have is the Mississippi River and the tributaries. This river provides transportation I remember writing a lot of posts about the flooding in 2011 and one piece of that was the lack of barge traffic.A paper from the Food and Agriculture Policy Research Institute[1] describes it this way:The Mississippi River is the most critical artery of the inland waterway system, supporting between 50 and 60 percent of total U.S. corn exports and 30 to 45 percent of total U.S. soybean exports. In calendar year 2002, 1.1 billion bushels of corn, 389 million bushels of soybeans, and 32 million bushels of wheat were transported to the Gulf via the Mississippi River. Over 90 percent of the corn and soybean exports from the Gulf were transported via barges on the Mississippi River.The river is also used to used to transport for fertilizer and other inputs. It is a cost effective and timely means of transport.You can see how much of the US can easily access the Mississippi in this map from the University of Maryland[2].Footnotes[1] https://fapri.missouri.edu/wp-co...[2] Lower Mississippi River: Environmental Literacy
