Continents

0 Conversations

The meaning for the word is 'Major Earth division'. Then why are Europe and Asia two separate continents? If the reason for this is mountains, then why isn't India a separate continent, since it has huge mountains around it's border!? Has it to do with the earth’s plates?

This subject has roots in drink related conversations and some people, who I won't mention, can have very strong feelings about continents, they are very moved on the subject.. So I offer up the topic....but maybe no one cares?
