They're not two different continents thought?

    North America and South America are 2 continents in a lot of models. What definition are you using that has them as one? I'm always pretty skeptical of the ones that have Europe and Asia but then just America.

    Yes Eurasia is 1 continent too, arguably it should be afroeurasia as well.

    North and South are their own plates

    Africa is it’s own plate

    So what are you arguing?

    ?? Plates dont equal continents? Or do you think Turkey is its own continent? And the east coast of Africa is a seperate continent to the rest of Africa?

    Continents are large landmass separated by oceans. That's the working definition, it's not a particularly precise definition, but it's the generally accepted one.
