Answers
Answer:
most standards, there is a maximum of seven continents - Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America. Many geographers and scientists now refer to six continents, in which Europe and Asia are combined (because they're one solid landmass).
The large continuous masses of land above the sea level are called Continents.
The seven continents are :-
- Asia
- Africa
- North America
- South America.
- Europe
- Australia
- Antarctica

It is the largest continent comprising of about 29.6% of the earth's total land surface. In the north, it touches the Arctic Ocean which is very cold throughout the year. In the extreme South the equator passes through some part of the continent where temperature remains high throughout the year. It is bounded by the Pacific ocean in the east and in the West separated from Europe by ural mountains and ural river.
