Does the world have 7 continents?
Seven continents is the number that I learned back in elementary school.
But what’s all this nonsense now about New Zealand being part of a Zealandia?
In 1995, I was still in elementary school. Did they not want to tell us anything because then we’d need new textbooks? What are kids learning today?
Please tell me that I still live in North America.
Thank you! 🌎

Or ones previously considered too small (or whatever other disqualifying feature excluded it) are henceforth considered one under the new definition.

October 25, 2017 10:04 pm at 10:04 pm #1389952👑RebYidd23ParticipantDid you learn in Geography or Geology?
October 25, 2017 10:59 pm at 10:59 pm #1389967LightbriteParticipantGeography; I guess?
