That's really a hard question to answer. Many people will give you the argument that continents are large land masses that have various geographic features, such as jungles, deserts, plains, and so on. Then again, Antarctica is a continent, and it only have one biome, and that's tundra/ice. So in reality, that's a disputed question.
