Just thought about it. I think there are 7 continents

1. Africa
2. Antartica
3. Asia
4. Australia
5. Europe
6. North America (Panama and north)
7. South America (Colombia and South)

What say you?

uhh.. that's correct...

Why do you have doubts?

A continent is one of several major land masses on the earth. There is no standard definition for the number of continents but you'll commonly find that the numbers six or seven are used. By most standards, there are a maximum of seven continents - Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Most students in the U.S. are taught that there are seven continents.
In Europe, many students are taught about six continents, where North and South America is combined to form a single America. Thus, these six continents are Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, and Europe.

Many geographers and scientists now refer to six continents, where Europe and Asia are combined (since they're one solid landmass). Thus, these six continents are Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Eurasia, North America, and South America.

7 continents.....7 days of the week.....
mmmm.......I sense a conspiracy

hmmm you may be right but there are rumors that god rested on the 7th day so maybe that is why some choose to believe there are only 6 continents......

In Elementary Mrs Adams taught me there were 7.

Or maybe they are still looking at the pre-Ice Age map
