There are seven political continents which everyone is probably most familiar with: Africa Antarctica Asia Australia Europe North America South America However, there are only four continents in a geographical sense. See, a continent is defined as a single large continuous landmass. The continents listed above are not all single landmasses, as some are connected. The absolute single landmasses are: Afro-Eurasia (Africa, Europe, and Asia) America (North America and South America) Antarctica Australia
The 7 continent model includes:AfricaAntarcticaAsiaEuropeNorth AmericaSouth AmericaAustraliaHowever, Eurasia is a contiguous landmass as is America (the Panama Canal notwithstanding).
We will just go to what could be thought:7 continents:North AmericaSouth AmericaAntarcticaAfricaEuropeAsiaAustraliaHere the "American landmass" is counted as 2 and the "European-Asian landmass" is counted as 2 landmasses.6 continents:North AmericaSouth AmericaAntarcticaAfricaEurasiaAustraliaHere the "European-Asian landmass" is counted as 1 landmass.Alternate to the 6 continents version is the one where Europe and Asia are separated and the "American landmass" is counted as 1 landmass.The American "combined" landmass is separated by a human made waterway made through a narrow strip of land.5 continents:AmericaAntarcticaAfricaEurasiaAustraliaHere the "European-Asian landmass" and the "American landmass" are both counted as 1 big land mass.4 continents:AmericaAntarcticaAfro-EurasiaAustraliaHere the "African-Eurasian" landmass is counted as 1. With the same argument (see 6 continents) used to combine the "American" landmass.Apparently there is another map that says all the Landmasses are so narrowly connected they could be considered as 1, the 'dymaxion map'.Well, we have given you options to choose from, so you decide which one is right
A continent is a major landmass that makes up a substantial amount of the Earth's surface. The continents are North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. There is also Antarctica, but it has no permanent inhabitants.

Asia is 17,226,000 sq mi (44,614,000 sq km).

As Mars does not have any liquid surface water, the entire planet is effectively a single continent. For geographic (areographic) purposes, Mars features are given various names including Mare (sea, dark areas), Terra (light areas) and Planum (plateaus).

Pangaea was not the first land mass It formed when the continents came together about 300 million years ago. Scientists know that there was once a single landmass based on evidence from ancient climates, fossils, rock formations found across oceans, and the behavior of tectonic plates. Scientists came up with the name Pangaea, which means "all land" in Greek, they did not discover it. Back when the continent we call Pangaea existed there were no people and thus no names.

Asia and Australia are continents.
The two smallest continents are Europe and Australia, with the latter being the smallest of all the continents.
