In Russian there's a term "part of the world" that's used for anywhere distinctive enough. So Russian geography pretty much takes the 'landmasses separated by water' approach for its definition of a continent. But Europe and Asia are still considered different "parts of the world".

Back when I was in elementary school (US) in the late '50s we were taught that the division between Europe and Asia were the Ural Mountains then down to the Caspian Sea, west along the southern border of what is now Georgia, across the Black Sea, and down through the Bosphorus. The Urals are also a major dividing line between Russian provinces/state/subdivisions.

Your writing is so good. The line about continental breakfast... 👌🏻

I have a solution "A continent is a landmass which covers a majority of its specific tectonic plate which also does not border any other landmasses on other tectonic plates via land and if the plate tectonic covers land that is seperated by ocean or any other large body of water, that land will not be part of the continent. if the tectonic plate borders another one, bith have a majority of the surface covered in alnd and there is a land border, the smaller plate will belong to the bigger continent" With my definition there are 6 continents: Euroasia (also owns the arabian and indian plates) Africa (owns the somali plate aswell) North America (owns the Caribbean but not russian lands) South America, Antarctica and Oceania (to not confuse it with the country) (making Indonesia transcontinental)

Part of the reason that Europe is a separate continent is because historically it was nigh impossible (by land) to get to Asia via land due to the mountains and sea Note: the continents were drawn by Ancient Greece, Russia and Spain. Other note: the Silk Road did not exist in Ancient Greece’s time.

Nonsense. It was barely possible because of political reasons. The Northern route was complicated because the mongol and tatar empires roamed free there. The Southern route through modern Turkey was blocked by the Persians and later the Islamic empires. But all these areas are not blocked by mountains or sea. You can get to Central Asia(!) via Russia fast, and you can get to Persia easily too. In fact, the sea actually makes Asia more accessible.

I would say that in Eurasia there are four distinct major cultural spheres: - East Asia: Cradle of civilisation was ancient China. Heavily influenced by Confucianism - South Asia: Cradle of civilisation was ancient India. Heavily influenced by Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism etc - Middle East: Cradle of civilisation was ancient Persia, Assyrians, Arab golden age etc. Heavily influenced by Islam - Europe: Cradle of civilisation was ancient Greece and Rome. Heavily influenced by Christianity One could also consider Southeast Asia as a fifth cultural sphere, but culturally in most ways they are like a mixture of the south asian and east asian spheres so I didn't count them as sufficiently distinct and unique enough to be their own separate cultural sphere but that's a subjective opinion

Since the Chukchi Peninsula in Russia and the Seward Peninsula in Alaska share a continental shelf, there are really three continents. Antarctica, Australia, and Afroeuromericasia.

This is a partially less difficult issue in Swedish, where we distinguish between kontinent (continent) and världsdel (part of the world). Eurasia, sometimes afroeurasia, is considered a continent while europe, asia, and africa are considered parts of the world.

"Regions of the world" is a lot more useful of a term. There's no use in grouping Italy, Scotland and Spain with China, Japan and Vietnam into a single continent - but there's also no way to defend Europe is a continent as we understand it. It's not even like Africa, that is connected only by a small peninsula. Europe is indistinguishable from Asia if you didn't already know it's supposed to be a continent.

At school I wasn't really taught the continents as a clear-cut geographic term, just as a handy way to divide the world into slightly more manageable sections. Hence I was taught Oceania as a continent, because it's just a useful term for that whole part of the world. So what counts as a continent really just depends on what's convenient for you in conversation, which is obviously going to vary around the world.

Actually here in Russia we have two different terms: 'continent' and 'materik' (mainland). First one relies on culture, second one - on the teсtonic plates, so continents are Africa, Australia (and Oceania), Antarctica, Europe, Asia and America. Mainlands are again Africa, Australia (and Oceania), Antarctica, but also Eurasia, South America and North America.
