   How many continents border the ocean?

   • The ocean covers almost three-fourths of Earth. The area of the ocean is more than double the area of all the continents combined. All continents border at least one ocean. Asia, the largest continent, has the longest series of coastlines. Coastlines, however, do not indicate the actual boundaries of the continents.

   How are continents defined?

   • Continents are defined by their continental shelves. A continental shelf is a gently sloping area that extends outward from the beach far into the ocean. A continental shelf is part of the ocean, but also part of the continent. To geographers, continents are also culturally distinct.

   Is Europe a continent or a subcontinent?

   • However, Europe is considered a continent with its comparatively large land area of 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000 sq mi), while the Indian subcontinent, with less than half that area, is considered a subcontinent. The alternative view—in geology and geography—that Eurasia is a single continent results in a six-continent view of the world.

   • Building the Continents. Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago from a great, swirling cloud of dustand gas. The continuous smashing of space debrisand the pull of gravitymade Earth's coreheat up.
   • Wandering Continents. If you could visit Earth as it was millions of years ago, it would look very different. The continents have not always been where they are today.
   • Continental Features. The surface of the continents has changed many times because of mountain building, weathering, erosion, and build-up of sediment. Continuous, slow movement of tectonic plates also changes surface features.
   • North America. North America, the third-largest continent, extends from the tiny Aleutian Islands in the northwest to the Isthmusof Panama in the south.
