How many mountains are on earth?

I don't think it would be possible to accurately answer this question because it is very hard to define exactly what a "mountain" is. Plus, you have multiple peaks that could either be said to be just that, or possibly defined as separate mountains. Then there's the whole issue of the massive mountain ranges underneath the sea. Not all of these have been mapped - or probably even discovered. An easier question might be how many major mountain RANGES there are on earth. But I'm sure you would get disagreement even there because some of them flow into each other without much of a break. Interesting question, though.

What does a continent have?

The question is "What does a continent have?" in the sense of "What are the characteristics that cause us to call something a continent"? If so, a continent is simply a large enough land mass to miss being called an island. Australia is right on the edge of the decision (it's a continent) and so would Antarctica be if all the snow melted. If the determination was strictly geological, Europe and Asia would be one continent together, probably called "Eurasia." However, the people who made these determinations were Europeans, and they were impressed by the differences in culture between the two places, so they seperated them, linguistically if not physically. By an interesting circumstance, long after the division by culture had occurred, scientists discovered that Europe and Asia actually are, or were, separate continents that smashed into each other long, long ago, raising the Ural Mountains, which, sure enough, are considered the border between the two. We actually got it right.
