My dear, how many continents on planet earth ?

Answer 1

Models
7 continents Antarctica
South America

North America
Europe Asia Africa Australia




The 7-continent model is usually taught in Western Europe, China, and most native English-speaking countries. The 6-continent combined-America model is taught in Latin America, Iberia and some other parts of Europe. The 6-continent combined-Eurasia model is preferred by the geographic community, Russia, Eastern Europe, and Japan. In all of these cases, the names Australasia or Oceania may be used in place of Australia. In Canada, for example, the government-approved Atlas of Canada lists 7 continents and names Oceania.[1]

Historians may use the 5-continent model in which North Africa is separated from Sub-Saharan Africa and included in Eurasia (Jared Diamond) or the 4-continent Afro-Eurasian (Andre Gunder Frank).

Answer 5

There are 7 continents on planet earth. They are: North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Antarctica. Now, I will name some countries on these continents. North America has Canada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Hondoras and Jamaica. South America has Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Guyana and Paraguay. Europe has France, Spain, UK, Germany, Poland, Italy and Norway. Asia has India, China, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, South Korea, North Korea and Japan. Oceania has Australia, New Zealand and other small counties like Micronesia. I hope that helps.

Answer 6

I think this the best definition becuase its scientific and not historical or political, "By the geologists' definition, Europe and Asia are separate continents since they have separate, distinct ancient shield areas and a distinct newer mobile belt (the Ural Mountains) forming the mutual margin. Also, India is a geological continent, as it contains a central shield, and the geologically recent Himalaya mobile belt forms its northern margin. North America and South America are separate continents, the connecting isthmus being largely the result of volcanism from relatively recent subduction tectonics. But the North American continent also includes Greenland, which is a portion of Canadian Shield, and the mobile belt forming its western margin includes the easternmost portion of the Asian land mass"

Answer 10

Other EARTHS? No. We've named this one Earth (well, in English that's what we call it). There won't be any planets identical to Earth. There are probably many planets that have complex life. But the history of any such planet would have unfolded very differently, so one wouldn't expect to see the same species. That said, if you look at the niches, there will likely be comparable, though very different, things elsewhere. So, if another planet has a small continent at a pole, that's around the temperature of our Antarctica, and has huge oceans, then likely they will have water-animals, and semi-aquatic animals that live off of them. Uh, polar bears aren't in Antarctica. They live near the NORTH pole.
