The answer depends on who you talk to.
A geographer - someone who studies Earth's surface, climate, countries, peoples, and so on - might say that continents are big and islands are small. For example, Greenland, the largest island, is only about a third as big as Australia.
On the other hand, a geologist - someone who studies the physics of Earth as a planet - might say that density accounts for the difference between continents and islands. Continents are made up of low-density rock, so they float high on Earth's molten mantle like big rafts. Ocean crust is denser, so it floats low on the mantle. Most islands are really extensions of the ocean floor - undersea volcanoes pump out dense lava that cools into ocean floor crust and sometimes piles up to poke above sea level. Greenland is ancient continental crust, but it isn't big enough to fit the geographer's definition of a continent. So geologists compromise by calling it a microcontinent.
continenets are large masses of land while oceans are large masses of water.
oceans are water and continents are land...
cause their both land and how?well sand is part of land and whole bunch of other stuff.
diffing word lake
Oceans are made out of sea water, and continents are made out of land; dirt and rocks. Oceans are liquids, continents are solids.

An antipodal arrangement of oceans and continents refers to the opposite points on Earth's surface that are directly across from each other. For example, the Pacific Ocean is antipodal to the Indian Ocean. This concept is used in geography to study the relationships between different regions and their corresponding antipodes.
7 continents and 5 oceans = 12

you have to spin it to see the continents and the oceans
There are different answers. 5 oceans in total but only the Pacific, atlantic, and Artic are the main ones.
The large landmasses in the Earth's oceans are the continents. There are a total of 7 continents in the world.
Because we tend to spend more time on the continents than in the oceans.
the earth can be organized into 4 oceans, 7 seas, and 7 continents
