A continent is one of several large landmasses on Earth. They are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criterion, with seven regions commonly regarded as continents – they are (from largest in size to smallest): Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.[1]

Plate tectonics is the geological process and study of the movement, collision and division of continents, earlier known as continental drift.

The term "the Continent", used in Great Britain, Ireland[citation needed], Sardinia, Sicily and the Scandinavian Peninsula, means mainland Europe.[2]
