The Eurasian Plate
Europe and Asia make up Eurasia.
All of the seven continents in the world used to be connected and formed one super continent called Pangaea. Europe was connected to Asia to for Eurasia, and it still is.

Europe and Asia together make up the continent called Eurasia.Eurasia
I would agree that Europe and Asia are physically one continent: Eurasia. They are a part of the same land mass and you cannot deny that. They are only split for political reasons.
The continental plate, which is made of granite rock, makes up the continents.
Europe and Asia
The two continents that make up Eurasia are Europe and Asia.
The continent made of both Asia and Europe is called Eurasia. However, the two also belong to Afroeurasia, a continent that consists of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
There are "7 continents" due to a combination of how plate tectonics processes have fractured the light granitic rocks that make up the continents and then smashed them back together over time, along with human perceptions (e.g. Europe and Asia are considered by human perception to be separate continents but they are a single continent of Eurasia in terms of plate tectonics processes). At various times in the past there have been as few as one continent and at other times there have been more than the current number.
It is known as Plate Tectonics.
