Why are Europe and Asia thought to be separate continents when maps present no separation between them?
—Wilma Dyer, Cañon City, Colorado
Think past water! The Ural Mountains (plus, to some extent, the Caucasus Mountains) have lengthy been thought of to mark a definite boundary between Europe and Asia. Yet our seven-continent mannequin is just one of many requirements taught world wide, principally because of historical past and cultural choice. A six-continent mannequin is most popular by most geographers, however multiple configuration exists. For instance, one contains Eurasia (Europe and Asia mixed). But one other combines North and South America (the Americas) as a substitute, with Europe and Asia separate.
