I was taught there are seven continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and Antarctica.

 

But apparently for some countries there are only 6; combining both Americas.

Europe and Asia are connected by a giant flat plain. They are not physically separate at all.

I was taught that there are 7 continents in school. I suppose we can argue that there are two large interconnected landmasses, Afro-Eurasia and the Americas, but can be split into 5 culturally distinct 'continents' (plus Australia and Antarctica).

There is only 1 AMERICA (the continent)... then, if we subdivide if anything is not 2 but 3... North America ( from Mexico and above), Central America (From Guatemala to Panama) and South America (From Colombia to Argentina)... the whole "North America & South America" thing is something white people started teaching in their countries to feel apart and superior from the rest of Latinamerica (which encompasses all spanish speaking countries in that 1 American continent , and this is a cultural division, not geographical)

north and south america are on different tectonic plates so why would they be considered one continent? 

I was taught that there are 5 continents:

America

Asia

Africa 

Europe

Oceania

+ Antarctica 

7: NA, SA, EU, Oceania, Asia, Africa, Antartica

Where do y’all get these names? We only have 1 continent. Aren’t we all living in Pangea?

I don't know but KWANGYA is the best continent, hands down.

Let me perch

Although I can see the argument for Eurasia being one continent geographically 

7. Depends on how you were taught though. People getting upset about this need to touch grass

North America includes Mexico and Central America so this doesn't even make sense.

 

 

Latin America doesn't only include Spanish-speaking countries btw.

Eurasia

Africa

Arabia

India 

Australia

North America
