The seven-continent model is usually taught in China and most English-speaking countries. The six-continent combined-Eurasia model is preferred by the geographic community, the former states of the USSR (including Russia), and Japan. The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Latin America, and some parts of Europe, including Greece, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and Spain. This model may be taught to include only the five inhabited continents (excluding Antarctica), as depicted in the Olympic logo.

The terms Oceania or Australasia are sometimes substituted for Australia to denote a continent encompassing the Australian mainland and various islands of the Alantic Ocean not part of other continents. For example, the Atlas of Canada names Oceania, as does the model taught in America and in Latin America and Iberia.
