What are Continents?

[micheal]

1:28 Africa and Eurasia are now connected by a container ship.

1 Continent:

Afro-Eurasiaustraliamerictica

I grew up in Soviet Union and we learned that there are 6 continents but also 6 parts of the world. If we put the Americas together, we separated Europe and Asia. When we put Europe and Asia together as in Eurasia, we separated the Americas into north and south. Either way, the number 6 remained constant.

0:47 Don't miss the 1984 reference. Loved it!

[greg.sym.]

We should go back to just being Pangea. That must have been so much easier

[AK-jtgx]

Absolutely lost it at Greenland’s “I <3 Mercator Projection”

You could take this even further. You could walk from the bottom of Africa to Asia which is Eurasia, (now Eurafrusia?) then walk to the very end of Russia. You could wait until it’s winter for the icebridge to appear and walk into Alaska, walk through Canada over to the end of Chile and now nearly every single continent is connected. 3 continents.

[exploshaun]

As an Asian, I always thought that Asia is too large to meaningfully describe someone from the continent, so I am fine with breaking it down further through cultural lines or whatever.

Me: The earth is a spherical continent with water flooding most of the land

[AndrewOrebus]

Teacher: how many continents are there?
Me: how many do you want them to be?

[farisplayz]

I just realised this was 11 years ago yet it looks so modern. Either this guy is absolutely insane at editing or time flies

[OneTwoFive]

For a 10 year old video it’s actually really well made, I could easily believe it was made a week ago

[beeble]

1:05 It's not the Brazilian rainforests that stop you walking the length of the Americas. It's something much closer to the Panama Canal: the Darién Gap, a dense swampy forest in the southern part of Panama and northern Colombia which is the only gap in the Pan-American Highway. You don't even need to enter Brazil to traverse the Americas.

3 Continents:
Afro-Eurasianarctica
America
Baffin Island

[seanhartman]

Excellent video, thank you! .

Was going over schoolwork with the kids about continents and we ran into a lot of these same issues/questions you brought up.

[dangerous]

In skandinavia we have “world parts” which is Europe, Oceania, South America, Northern America, Africa and Antarctica whilst continents are Eurasia, Oceania, America (some use both north and south while some don’t), Africa and Antarctica

[FormulaManuel]

In Austria I got taught that there were 5 continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and America - we don't give shit about Antarctica 😂 no claims, no gains

[TheMasonX]

Remove the Antarctic ice he says; can't you see that we're trying?

[josepaez_]

I love this channel, it truly does a great job at informing in a funny, easy to understand and useful way, side note on the Teddy Roosevelt joke it’s Colombia, not Columbia

[NoName-rbvp]

B-b-but their all connected.
