This is a compelling argument. Is it time we stop considering Europe and Asia as separate continents when they’re in fact a single continent and even share the same tectonic plate?

    According to this guys own definition Africa is not a separate continent either, as it separated from Asia only by the Suez Canal and the Sinai peninsula, and North and South is just one Continent. Actually it’s a complex and interesting topic, I recommend MapMen’s video on it which is not just informal, but actually funny, unlike this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrsxRJdwfM0

    It’s already commonly called Eurasia. Really just depends on which definition of continent you’re using.
