what are the continents
A continent is one of several very large landmasses on Earth. Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents. Ordered from largest in size to smallest, they are: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
The 7 continents of the world are North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Some consider the North and South American continent to be just one landmass referred to as the âAmerican Continent.â Europe and Asia continent are also combined at times and referred to as âEurasia.â.
