America Isn't a continent though.

It is, and I'm not even gonna argue that. Go to any store here and ask for an American continent map, I'm sure you'll get one that ranges from Canada to Chile and Argentina

That's fine... but you are being taught wrong... get a map from a geographical society and they will be two different continents.

Are you going to believe map makers in your country or the international geological and geographical societies?

I mean, you can specifically point out why North and South America are two different continents pretty simply and eaisly scientifically.

They have totally different cores and are only connected by a very small stretch of land.

I mean think for a second... what would make North and South America the same continent....

Yet make Europe and Asia two different continents?

I will first refer you to this.

Or this

Where it states what the Geographic Community believes.  They are the experts afterall.
