Who is "us", exactly, and where are you? There are some who consider all of North and

∙ 14y agoThe official definition of a continent is "a large, continuous expanse of land, separated by a body of water." By this geographical definition, North and South America are actually part of the same continent (although you can argue that they are now detached, due to the Panama Canal which separate the two.) However, convention and political reasons have made divided the two into separate continents, similar to the situation with Europe and Asia, which are connected geographically, but considered different continents.

Does South America share the continent of North America too?
South America and North America are continents. A continent contains a number of countries, and each of those countries has its own leader. For example, in South America, there are countries like Argentina, Peru, Brazil, and Venezuela. Each one has its own government and its own president. North America is also like that: it contains Canada (which has a prime minister), the United States of America (which has a president), and Mexico (which has a president). Thus, there is no one person who is "president of North America" or "President of South America." A continent does not have only one leader, in other words; it has as many leaders as there are countries.
