Why isn't it just considered one continent? Australia and Antarctica are well defined (i.e not connected to any other continent), even North and South America are hardly connected, as well as Africa (pretty much). I've heard it's due to Greek and Roman influence, as well as tectonic plates, but tectonic plates haven't been known for that long, and there could be more continents considering this theory. Anybody know more?
