Answer

Lowest to heights (ascending order) in a negative number, the number that has greater value of actually smaller and vice-versa. So, accordingly, we arrange them in ascending order. $\text{Antarctica}<\text{Asia}<\text{North America}<\text{Europe}<\text{Sourh America}<\text{Africa}<\text{Australia}\\ (-129^\circ)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ (-90^\circ)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (-81^\circ)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (-67^\circ)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (-27^\circ)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (-11^\circ)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ (-9^\circ)$
