Once again busybody gets confused over what the poster says and what experts say. I am not responsible for naming continents, if you'd paid attention at school you would have known that. :lol:Quote:

It seems unlikely that they would have mentioned you specifically in his classes. Unless of course you are a famous Geographer :earl:.Quote:

There's no definite answer to the continents question, I just read this which defends (from a geological point of view) Europe and Asia as being seperate and throws in India (I doubt Jade Goody will be happy at that) for good measure...

By the geologists' definition, Europe and Asia are separate continents since they have separate, distinct ancient shield areas and a distinct newer mobile belt (the Ural Mountains) forming the mutual margin. Also, India is a geological continent, as it contains a central shield, and the geologically recent Himalaya mobile belt forms its northern margin. North America and South America are separate continents, the connecting isthmus being largely the result of volcanism from relatively recent subduction tectonics. But the North American continent also includes Greenland, which is a portion of Canadian Shield, and the mobile belt forming its western margin includes the easternmost portion of the Asian land mass.
Anyhow, what do continents have to do with China winning the space-arms-race?

Are you another JP, or just another troll, both maybe? Do you ever have anything constructive to say to anyone? I guess being a catholic you can just confess every now and then and feel good about yourself, however, to non-catholics you really are a bit of a dick.Quote:

I already know that people have different reasons for naming continents.
I'd have to answer, "Notadamnthing".Quote:

You could divide north America using the Rockies as an excuse.
You could divide South America using the Andes as an excuse.
You could divide Australia using Rikk.:wacko::)

Well, it's all to do with tectonic plates, innit :blink:
