Who is "us", exactly, and where are you? There are some who consider all of North and
South America to be one single continental mass. Most people in North America and many other places consider North America to be a separate continent from South America.
The 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.
no they are not connected because there on to different sides of the world
Yes, Yes it is :)
Both. Geographically, Brazil is located on eastern South America. Culturally, it is part of the region known as Latin America, which includes all countries whose language was originated from ancient Latin, such as Spanish, Portuguese and French.
North America, we just have the one.
Martinique is an island.. it isn't on a continent. it's located in the Caribbeans, near South America.
It's on the continent we call the United States of America. It is the continent that everyone else calls "North" America. Americans are hypocrites, and... Assuming you don't know where Canada is, I'll assume that you are one.
Since the earth is a sphere (a ball), you can reach anywhere by going either direction from anywhere. But the trip is usually shorter in one direction than in the other. From the Prime Meridian, the trip to North America or South America is shorter if you head out going toward the west.
South America is one continent, and it does not have continents in it or on it because South America in itself is one big continent. There are countries in the continent of South America, but not continents.
No there is a little break in between the two continents.
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.
The two continents in the Western Hemisphere are North America and south America
No, America is not considered one continent. It is commonly divided into North America and South America as two separate continents. Some regions may refer to them collectively as the Americas, but traditionally they are seen as distinct continents.
AFRICA i am the one who made up this question but i found my answer
North America is one of the continents. South America is the other continent.
In fact in many places around the world it's taught that there is only one single "American" continent. This "North America" and "South America" concept is just a definition coming from the United States, as to clarify the whole continent from the USA, which is commonly known as "America".

North America
Central America, if it is taken to be an actual continent (Central America is generally considered a region of the continent of North America). It is most broadly part of North America, or America, if you're from somewhere that teaches that the whole of the Americas is one continent.
both north America and south America border on two oceans
