“Most English-speaking countries recognize seven regions as continents. In order from largest to smallest in area, these seven regions are Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia”
To Africans, to Asians, to the rest of America (as you should know, America is a continent)
One could even say America is two continents.
Just like East Europe and West Europe, East Asia, South Africa and North Africa… /s
Check out why America (the continent) is called the way it is, it is quite interesting. Hint: “Americo Vespucci”
There is a North America, and there is a South America,
Those are two separate continents.
You can check on any map of continents and that will show you that this is true information.
If anything, it’s the divide between Asia and Europe that’s arbitrary.

True! But then it’d make sense to draw another line between east Asia and the middle east
Sure, just like the Gulf of America?
You may want to double check that.
