Number of continents
There are several ways of distinguishing the continents.
Models
7 continents[8][9][10][11][12][13] Antarctica South America North America Europe Asia Africa Australia
6 continents[14][9][15] Antarctica South America North America Eurasia Africa Australia
6 continents Antarctica America Europe Asia Africa Australia
5 continents Antarctica America Eurasia Africa Australia
4 continents Antarctica America Africa-Eurasia Australia
The 7-continent model is usually taught in Western Europe, China, and most native English-speaking countries. The 6-continent combined-Eurasia model is preferred by the geographic community, Russia, Eastern Europe, and Japan.[citation needed] The 6-continent combined-America model is taught in Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, Iran and some other parts of Europe. The 5-continent model is taught in the Iberian Peninsula and some other parts of Europe[citation needed].
Oceania or Australasia are sometimes used in place of Australia. For example, the Atlas of Canada lists 7 continents and names Oceania.[8]

It depends on which country you are from. Some say 6 and others say 7. This is because the people that say there are 7 seperate America into North America and South America.
