I protest Europe and Asia being considered two separate continents. I think it's based entirely on 20th century political and cultural differences and has nothing to do with geography.
Hardly anyone agrees on where the boundary is. A continental boundary shouldn't be subjective, it should be obvious, or it doesn't exist.
How would you define the Europe-Asia boundary? Black Sea? Caspian Sea? Caucus Mountains? Ural Mountains?
None of those boundaries make sense to me, I think it should be one continent. What do you think?

Draw the line, where the eyes start to slant.
I'm glad there are wine drinkers in this world ..... it saves more beer for the rest of us. Hopper

Family is everything! Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.

Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.
If you put beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.
God doesn't create temporary people, you will spend eternity somewhere. Choose wisely.

Draw the line, where the eyes start to slant. Eskimos in North America have epicanthic folds.

I would use the Ural mountsuns and the Volga river as a north-south line. But if we do that, we could also split Norh America into 3 continents.

There was something different about that Eurasia band, not that there's anything wrong with that.
