Six or Seven Continents? According to tradition most people speak of seven continents on the planet. However, geologically there are six large distinct land masses on the earth so many geographers and scientists refer to six. Those who consider there to be seven continents refer to a separate Europe and Asia (divided at the Ural Mountains in western Russia) while those who prefer six continents refer to the joined land mass (and single tectonic plate) as Eurasia. So, here are the lists - use the one you prefer. Six Continents: Africa Antarctica Australia Eurasia North America South America Seven Continents: Africa Antarctica Australia Asia Europe North America South America Jan 08 03, 6:34 PM

Some people also think of North America and South America as a single America. That's how I was taught. Jan 08 03, 7:45 PM

Thank you Student, that's how I was taught as well, however this link provides useful information that says they are different. I guess it's how it's perceived by different people. http://www.worldatlas.com/geoquiz/thelist.htm Jan 08 03, 11:44 PM
