ANSWER: There are seven continents on planet Earth: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. All the continents are one large landmass in the sense that they're connected under the oceans' waters, but they are separated by ocean waters on the surface. Theoretically, if the ocean waters were to dissolve, the earth would be one large landmass, or continent. As to ownership, the different land masses around the planet belongs to different nations. For example, the 48 continental U.S. states as well as Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., Alaska, and Hawaii belong to the United States of America.
