Shady_ShiroeSouthern America???
If you think the Americas should be joined … why is South America the imposter? Wouldn’t it be like a 50/50 chance?
I meant the name on the map is Southern America and not South America
Africa is not seperated by ocean to Asia, and North/South America is also not separated by ocean…so really only Antarctica and Australia are not imposters.
If you count the Suez Canal and squint, you can make an argument. Not so much for the above.
The panama canal is not an ocean…and man made. No amount of squinting could make it a reasonable argument to count it.
bleistift2Africa being an ocean is supported by there being saltwater between it and Asia. The panama canal(s) connect freshwater lakes to bridge the gap between the Pacific and the Atlantic.

If the Panama Canal doesn’t count, neither does the Suez Canal, IMO.
Technically no, not when using the same argument.
Australia (country) has Timor Sea and Arafura Sea on the north, not an ocean. But New Guinea belongs to Australia (continent), so it doesn’t actually matter, both sides of the sea are the same continent. Unless we consider only the main landmass of each continent and ignore all islands.
Panama, with it’s canal, is entirely in North America too, so the canal doesn’t matter anyway.
Same thing applies to Africa and Eurasia, no?
How Many Continents are there?
Damn, this is a 14 year old video and it mentions Pluto not being a planet. I thought that just happened recently.
Fuck you for making me feel old!
Pluto not being a planet?
Take those filthy words outta your mouth. Tiny Pluto is a Planet. Just because some shithead astrophysicists have a meeting and say it isn’t so doesn’t make it true.
Me and some friends with theoretical degrees in physics have created a competing group who insist tiny Pluto is a planet. We call it Tiny Pluto is a Planet, Tiny PP for short. It’s weird, lots of people enthusiastically share our views, but when I ask them to register for TinyPP, they go quiet. Nevermind, we fight for our cause! For the planet!

slacktoidAmerica is a single continent too, or 3 subcontinents if you like to divide things.
(Turns out the OP’s definition is completely wrong, but who cares?)
It is? I learnt north and south were separate. So I guess what makes a continent a continent?
Also what would the 3 subcontinents be? North, central, south? (Guesses wildly)
Everyone learns different definitions based on their education system’s world view, leading to a number of continents somewhere between 3 and 20. It turns out that nature doesn’t care for humans’ desire to put everything into neat, well-defined little boxes.
20?!
My own view is 4: Antarctica, Australia, America, Afro-eurasia. I’m not sure how you’d get to 3, unless you disqualified Australia.
I’ve also heard 7: Antarctica, Australia, split North + South America, split Africa + Europe + Asia.
I suppose you could add a few – I’ve heard the phrase “subcontinent of India”, so that could be an 8th continent. Then maybe Greenland for 9. Beyond that, though? IDK what would even make sense.
BRB, I have to go search for expansive continent definitions.
Ah, the plates! Thank you.
You could discount Antarctica because without all the ice it’s just an archipelago.
Huh, I would think you’d drop Australia before Antarctica. Still, yeah, I suppose that works to get you down to 3.
What would be a reason to exclude Australia? It’s huge, surrounded by ocean and has unique wildlife.
“That’s not a continent, that’s an island with delusions of grandeur!”
Personally, I include it.
Where Great Pacific Garbage Patch? /s
RanzigFettreduziertIt’s called Eurasien.
Eurasia is also an English word.
