| Zero999 said: my geography book says there is a political division of south, central and north America. it's three, not two and everyone considers it as just that, political divisions. I don't see people refering to each part as a continent. |
Based on my quick perusal of continental demarkations, there are 5 generally accepted continental configurations. All are subjective and inherent to your location's arbitrary concepts.
These are the 5 configurations:
4 Continents:
Afro-EurAsia, America, Australia and Antarctica.
5 Continents:
Africa, Eurasia, Australia, America and Antarctica.
6 Continents:
Africa, Europe, Asia, America, Australia and Antarctica.
6 Continents:
Africa, Eurasia, South America, North America, Australia and Antarctica.
7 Continents:
Africa, Europe, Asia, South America, North America, Australia and Antarctica.
The 7 Continent model is usually accepted in the English speaking world, Western Europe and much of Asia.
The 6 Continent model is most usually associated with the Spanish speaking world and some parts of Europe.
