North America Is One Continent—Not Three

North America is a single continent. The seven-continent model lists:

1. Asia
2. Africa
3. North America
4. South America
5. Antarctica
6. Europe
7. Australia (Oceania)

What North America Contains

• Countries: Canada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama.
• Regions: Northern America (Canada, US, Bermuda, Greenland, St. Pierre), Central America, Caribbean.
• Plate: Mostly North American Plate; Pacific Plate boundary (San Andreas), Caribbean Plate south.

Common Confusion

Some models merge North + South America as "America" (6 continents, Latin America/Europe). Others separate Europe/Asia as "Eurasia." But no model splits North America into three continents.
