- HOW MANY CONTINENTS ARE THERE?
The number of continents varies according to culture and country, and this is due to the definition of "continent".
The continent it is a large, continuous and separate land mass surrounded by water.
With this strict criterion, there would only be three continents, since Africa, Europe and Asia are joined among themselves, so much that there are those who speak of an "Afro-Eurasia" continent.
This has led to the dependent on culture, the education they have received for each country as they have a different number of continents

Only America, Antarctica and Australia are completely separated continents.
Africa and Asia are linked by the isthmus of Suez. Europe, in the strict way, is only a peninsula of Asia
