Well, as per parent's logic, that claim is out the door ever since the Suez was dug out.
- neves 1y agoYes. A continent is a big contiguous mass of land. There were 3: Eurasia-africa, America, Oceania and Antarctica. Suez and Panama channels created other continents.
- Jedd 1y agoAs an Australian, inculcated with the orthodoxy that this was the largest island while also being the smallest continent - how does 'Oceania' fit with your quite technical 'big contiguous mass of land'? If we made another small rut parallel to either Suez or Panama, would we add 1 to the count of continents?
