The Earth's Continents
The word continent is derived from the Latin phrase terra continens, which literally means "connected land". The term generally applies to a large, contiguous landmass that is mostly, or entirely, surrounded by water. However, the geological structure of planet Earth does not enable this definition to be uniformly applied. Geologically, Europe and Asia form the single continent of Eurasia, but from a travel perspective, Europe and Asia are usually considered separate continents.
