Is Australasia a continent

Answer 1

Australia is both a continent and a country. Geographically, it is too big to qualify as "island". It is sometimes referred to as an island continent because it is one of only two continents in the world completely surrounded by water.

Australia is part of the "geographic region" of Oceania, which, by definition, is not actually a continent.

Australia is the smallest of the seven continents.
You mean Australia? In that case, yes, it is a continent. It is made up of Australia, obviously, and other countries like New Zealand and Vanuatu.

Answer 2

The country of Australia includes the continental island and some of the surrounding islands.

The country of Australia expands beyond the continental surface land mass of Australia and includes the island state of Tasmania and many smaller island territories including Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, The Cocos Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Island.

Australia Plate

The Australian continental (or tectonic) plate includes Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and many Pacific and Indian ocean island nations.

Answer 3

Yes: Australia is both a country and a continent.

The continent is Australia, which is the world's smallest continent. It is also an island continent, as it is completely surrounded by water.

Australia is also counted in the geographical regions of "Oceania" and "Australasia" with islands such as New Zealand and New Guinea. Oceania and Australasia are not, however, formally classified as continents.

Answer 4

Both. Australia is an island continent. The country of Australia fits exactly onto the continent of Australia.

The continent of Australia does not include New Zealand or New Guinea, despite this popular misconception. Australia is part of the larger regions known as Australasia and Oceania, but it is not the same as either. Australia is not synonymous with Oceania (another misconception).

Answer 5

Yes. Australia is the world's smallest continent (not the largest island) and it is a country. There are no other countries on the continent of Australia.

It is the only country/continent in the world that is a continent, and a country at the same time.

Answer 6

No, it is a geographical term for the region covering a region of Oceania, including Australia, New Zealand, the island of New Guinea, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Answer 7

Yes, Australia is one of the 7 continents.

Answer 8

The continent is Australia.

Oceania is just a geographical region.

Answer 9

Australia is the name of the continent in which just one country, the country of Australia, is located.
