Continent

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

A continent is a large area of the land on Earth that is joined together. People do not agree about how many continents there are. Some say there are seven continents:

Some say that North America and South America are one continent. Some also say that Europe and Asia are only parts of a continent called Eurasia. Some even say that Eurasia and Africa are one continent called Eurafrasia.
