submerged shelves
The submerged part of continents is known as the continental shelf. It is the shallow part of the ocean that extends from the coastline to a drop-off point called the shelf break. The continental shelf is rich in marine life and is an important area for fishing and oil exploration.
Continents are the bigger objects within their given space. Antarctica, Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Australia are the Major Continents of the World. Of these, Australia is both a continent and a Nation, with no other counties on it. All the other six have many nations on them. In short, countries, which are political divisions are parts of continents.
Asia and Europe are parts of one huge land mass called Eurasia. The Ural Mountains traditionally separate the two continents.
For the most part, all of the continents are equal in age and were split from larger continents millions of years ago through plate tectonics which keeps surface area moving under and over plates.
A land area that contains two continents is called an isthmus. It serves as a narrow strip of land connecting two larger landmasses, separating two bodies of water. Examples include the Isthmus of Panama connecting North and South America, and the Isthmus of Suez connecting Africa and Asia.

I think it's called the continental shelf
The larger parts are called continents, the smaller parts are called islands.

The thick parts of the Earth's crust that form large land masses are called continents. Continents are made up of a variety of rocks and have different geological features such as mountains, plains, and plateaus. There are currently seven continents on Earth.
The portion of a continent that is submerged beneath the ocean is called the Continental Shelf.
submerged islands
What is the continents of asia are really parts of the same land mass?

Submerged arc welding is called "submerged" because the high voltage electrical current (called the "arc") that heats the metal and wire to weld together is submerged underneath layers of granular earth materials called "flux". About 50% to 90% of this flux can be re-used and fed back into the system with the proper equipment.

When the continents were together it was called "pangea"
