You can argue about Europe though...I agree it shouldn't be counted as a continent even if I was taught that way as a kid...there's nothing that separates it from Russia and the rest of Asia geographically. |
Actually it is debatable. If you consider a continent to be defined as a large and continuous landmass then N.America and S.America are in one continent. Even more interesting is that it would mean that Eurasia and Africa and N.America and S.America could technicaly be construed as having been turned into seperate continents by man constructing the Panama and Suez canals.
