On school, I always learned that there are 7 continents:
- Europe (including Istanbul, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and a part of Russia)
- Asia
- Africa
- Oceania
- North-America (including everything up to Panama, also most of the isles like Cuba and Puerto Rico)
- South-America (including the small isles at the east of Puerto Rico)
- Antartica

What do you think?

This one.

But it's such an arbitrarily defined term that it doesn't matter. It's not based (solely) on tectonic plates, or we'd have a tonne of other continents, it's not based on continous landmasses, or Europe and Asia would be considered as a single continent. We've just decided which landmasses we refer to as continents and which we don't.
