NOTE!
The 4 continents are defined in a purely geographical model (large landmasses surrounded or mainly surrounded by oceans, with minimal separation):
- Afro-Eurasia – The single massive supercontinent consisting of Africa, Europe, and Asia connected by land (no ocean barrier). This is the "Old World" or "World Island."
- Americas – North and South America connected by the Isthmus of Panama (treated as one continental landmass).
- Australia – The island continent (including Tasmania and New Guinea in some definitions, but core is the Australian plate).
- Antarctica – The southern polar continent.
This model ignores cultural/political "7 continents" (which artificially splits Afro-Eurasia into three). Blunt fact: there are only 4 true continents by strict landmass connectivity and ocean separation.
