@trev33 saidIt si a trick question, right?
Should be an easy question, right?
I say 7
Some say 6
Others say 5.
The penguins of Antarctica are not happy at the people who say 5.
There are six, all with their own tectonic plate:
Africa
Antarctica (of course) [can't think of people not counting that one]
Ozeania (containing Australia)
Eurasia (the very concept of Europe as a continent of their own is a cultural concept, rather than a geographical one)
South America
North America
O and I learned at school that there are 7, in Germany Europe is seen as continent, though there were interesting discussions about the eastern limit (Ural mountain...but why)
-Removed-By conventional standards there are seven continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia/Oceania, and Antarctica. Some scientists add an eighth, Zealandia, most of which is under water in the South Pacific. Zealandia's area is nearly 2 million square miles (5 million square kilometers) — about half the size of Australia.
