Continents are divided on the bases of land( area) and population. There are 7 different continents in the world: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antartica, Enrope and Australia( off course they are mentioned in largest to lowest).

If we consider only 6-continent world, then the Euroasian(Europe and Asia) is the largest.

The continent are separated either by water, land.

What continent was not part of gondwana?

It should be 'continents' - in plural. 3 continents were not part of Gondwana super-continent. They were North America, Europe and Asia - which formed the other super-continent Laurasia. The other 4 continents formed the Gondwana. They were South America, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. The Indian sub-continent was part of Gondwana, then separated from it, traveled north and jammed with Asia. The collision of India and Asia created the Himalayas.

What are tectonic plates how were the continents formed?

Tectonic plates are large sections of Earth's crust that float on the semi-fluid mantle beneath them. The continents were formed through the process of plate tectonics, where tectonic plates collided, separated, or slid past each other over millions of years. This movement caused the continents to come together to form supercontinents, break apart, and drift to their current positions.
