Continents:
Definition: The major land masses of the earth. 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. In some countries, the Americas are combined into one continent.
Examples: The six continents include Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Eurasia, North America, and South America. The seven continents include Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America.

The seven traditional continents are: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Antartica, and Australia.
Some people consider Australia to be part of "Oceania." Which isn't really a continent in the true sense of the word because it is not a single land mass, but it is a region of islands.

Yeah, I know, Australia is an island and Europe and Asia are the same land mass. But the morons that decided we have seven continents divided it up this way. You and I can disagree all we want, but this is how the textbooks teach it.
