What are the Seven Continents and Oceans?
Are you able to name every continent and ocean on Earth? If you look at a map of seven continents and oceans you will probably remember right away, but if you’re like the majority of people you can likely name the continents but will leave out 1 or 2 oceans. Let’s find out what they are. There are generally considered to be 7 continents. But the continents we identify are not chosen based on exact criteria, but rather by historical definitions. For example, there is nothing separating Europe from Asia and they could be considered one continent called Eurasia. But they are generally considered separate continents because of cultural and historical reasons. There are 7 continents: Australia, Europe, Antarctica, South America, North America, Europe, and Australia.
