The Definition of a Continent
A continent is a large body
of land, above water, that has a
natural geological border.
How Many Continents Are There?
Depending on how you count them,
there are anywhere from 4 to 7 continents.
The difference of opinion
arises because some
people consider Europe and Asia
to be one continent, some people
consider North and South
America to be one continent,
and a few people even consider
Europe, Asia, and Africa to be
one huge continent called Eurafrasia.
What are the Names of the Continents?
As mentioned above, not everyone
agrees on exactly how the world is divided
into continents, but these are the
entities you will sometimes see referred to
as continents:
