Number of continents

still very much disputed as I understand it. I don't see how it fits the traditional definition which is a major landmass. if you look at that article you'll see that most of the scientists claiming it should be counted are kiwis, there's a chance they could be biased. claiming that it would obviously be a landmass with mountains and stuff if we removed the ocean is stretching it a bit for meThe_President said:0 -

So, Australia, separated as it is by the Wallace line and with completely different flora, fauna and geology, is part of Asia, but Europe, separated from Asia by the Ural Mountains and with effectively the same flora and fauna and geology, isn't?Dave2l said:The American continent includes North, central and South America.

North and South America are separate continents. Try driving from one to the other - there is a gap in the south of Panama called the Darien Gap. There is a land bridge, but it is pretty impenetrable. There used to be with Asia and North America but not even Dave21 who equates Asia and Australia is arguing that they are one continent.

This is an example of what seems to be a straightforward question resulting
in x different answers. How does the education system deal with this kind of issue?
