USA:\n9,631,418 km²\n3,718,711 sq mi  \n\nEurope:\n10,390,000 km²\n4,010,000 sq mi\n\nI guess if you subtract GB from Europe, it will still be larger than USA\n\np/s: nem0nem, the area of europe that you gave is not continental europe but the total area of political boundary of countries in europe. sontinental europe means the size of europe itself, and is stated in wikipedia as 4,010,000 sq mi.nevertheless, I'm not quite sure whether the questions asks continental USA as in continental north america or just the USA.but anyways, the real answer to the question is:\n"Continental Europe is slightly larger than USA, but Continental North America is larger than Continental Europe."

Boeing’s Everett Plant in Seattle, Washington is the largest building in the world by volume at 13.3 million m³. It is used for aircraft assembly.\nThe Aerium of the Cargolifter AG in Brandenburg, Germany has a volume of 5.2 million m³. It's the world largest hall without pillars.\nThe third largest building by volume is the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.  It was used originally for assembling the Saturn V moon rockets and is now used for the Space Shuttle.  It is 525 feet tall (I have stood on the roof!) and if the air-conditioning was switched off and the doors left open, clouds could form inside.  It is 3.7 million m³.\nThe VAB is so large that if every person in the state of Oklahoma decided to make a telephone call from a phone box, there would be room inside it for all the phone boxes!\nWhen the cowboy star Will Rogers visited the VAB, he commented; “It sure would hold a lotta hay!”

PRAG or Prague (Czech: Praha (IPA: [ˈpraɦa]), see also other names) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Situated on the Vltava river in central Bohemia, it is home to approximately 1.2 million people. (It can be derived from jobs statistics, however, that an additional 300,000 work there without having registered as residents.)\n\nNicknames for Prague have included "city of a hundred spires" and "the golden city". Since 1992, the historic center of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. According to Guinness World Records, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world.-

Bell Rock Lighthouse the oldest surviving Sea based lighthouse is partially built with the granite. \n\nParts of Cobh Cathederal in Ireland also uses the granite.\n\nIn the UK Aberdeen granite has been used to build Waterloo Bridge in London, and the terrace of the House's of Parliament.\n\nI'm not sure there are any buildings made of the granite further afield.  It would take an enormous amount of heavy rock to ship across the ocean.  There are however plenty of monuments and statues which use the granite as part or all of it's construction.  \n\nHope this helps.

The Rock of Gibraltar, sometimes called the Pillar of Hercules is located in Gibraltar, off the southwestern tip of Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. It is 426 meters (1,396 feet) high\nThe Rock of Gibraltar is a monolithic Jurassic limestone promontory. The geological formation was created when the African tectonic plate collided tightly with Europe about 55 million years ago. The Mediterranean became a lake that, in the course of time, dried up. About five million years ago the Atlantic Ocean broke through the Strait of Gibraltar, and the resultant flooding created the Mediterranean Sea. This spectacular rock monolith covers a land area of about six square kilometres and overlooks the African coast

Granite is an igneous rock that is composed of four minerals. These minerals are quartz, feldspar, mica, and usually hornblende. Granite forms as magma cools far under the earth's surface. Because it hardens deep underground it cools very slowly. This allows crystals of the four minerals to grow large enough to be easily seen by the naked eye. Look at the photo of granite above, notice the different crystals in the rock. \n\nGranite is an excellent material for building bridges and buildings because it can withstand thousands of pounds of pressure. It is also used for monuments because it weathers slowly. Engravings in the granite can be read for hundreds of years, making the rock more valuable. \n\nGranite is quarried in many places in the world including the United States. The state of New Hampshire has the nickname "Granite State" because of the amount of granite in the mountains of that beautiful state. The Canadian Shield of North America contains huge outcroppings (surface rocks) of granite.
