Why is Europe a continent?

[DEAD7]

Continents are determined by tectonic plates...

[Mr. Pink]

I'm failing to see how Europe won right now, breh.
Have you visited lately?

As opposed to every other continent which is all rainbows?

If Pluto is no longer considered a planet, then Europe should not be considered a continent...Period.

Europe is a continent because of "white supremacy" as one poster so succinctly and eloquently stated...

It is NOT a continent...You can use any definition of "continent" and Europe would still NOT fit...

Because the white man said so #whitesupremacy

Wouldn't all that be called Australasia? Oceania?

I learned as a kid ( not in school) That it was alll australasia... with Europe in it. And I learned the real size of Africa... and was told to repeat it so that I memorized the facts.

So My face in school was

Then ways to do math I was at a so called 5th grade level in the 2nd grade... Basically CAC do nothing but hold us back.

Now they are trying to skip my sons up a grade... again, even at the cac schools.. Just being American holds you back.

Geology.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent

A continent is one of several very large landmasses on Earth. They are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, with up to seven regions commonly regarded as continents. These are from largest in size to smallest: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.[1]

In geology, continents are described by means of tectonic plates. Plate tectonics is the process and study of the movement, collision and division of continents.

As if knowledge production and reproduction isn't shaped by politics...


What you quoted even states they are identified by convention

The question of "where does Europe end and Asia begin" is a question fraught with a long history.
