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. Kinda off topic but do people really say Hawaii is apart of N. America?

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) This applies more to Europe and Asia than to North and South America.

Using the previous logic it should be one continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katara Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 1. EuroAfriAsia (connected by land) 2. America (connected by land) So only 2 real continents. Australia and Antarctica are just some unimportant islands with too few people to considered continents. I mean we don't consider Madagascar and Greenland as continents for the same reason.

Komet Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 We're taught there's 7. Yeah, Europa and Asia are technically one, but they're Main Continent Girls so they get their own slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesthetic bih Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I remember there are some criteria on what landmass is considered a continent but forget what they are I guess it's not limited to being "physically separate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo Stick Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 NASA and Google Earth have been lying to us for multiple centuries. The Earth is flat and the continents are all connected. Most people don't know this, but you can get to Egypt from the Appalachian mountains in North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byzantium Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 The answer really depends on where you are from. I was taught 7. However I really do not understand how people can justify on a logical basis "America" being one continent but "Europe and Asia; or Africa and Asia" not being one continent. The logical answer would say either 7 or 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
