Geographers will often use the term 'Eurasia' when referring to Europe and Asia as one continent, as they would use 'The Americas' to refer to both North and South America. In many ways, using the term 'Eurasia' simplifies things, as countries like Russia and Turkey are split into both Asia and Europe.
