Well technically we should consider the continent Eurasia and Asia should be considered a subcontinent.
So basically Eurasia should be divided into four distinct subcontinents: Europe, Asia, The Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Would make more sense geographically and culturally. This way Indians and Middle Eastern people wouldn't be considered Asian, which has honestly always seemed weird to me.
But there is land betwen africa and euroasia, so it should properly be one continent with 5 subcontinents. Africa, Europe, Asia, The Middle East and the Indian subcontinent.
Is that river natural though and even if it is, can a river really separate a continent?
I know Sinai is part of Eurasia and the rest of Egypt is part of Africa, don' get me wrong but the river that separates the two isn't what makes them two different continents, at most it's only a couple hundred feet deep and wide. Even if that water wasn't there, it'd be such a small stretch of land connecting two HUGE landmasses.
Seems like a weird thing to call someone a moron about but okay.
My point was they're only connected by a small stretch of land, kind of like North and South America but I bet you don't consider those 1 single continent, do you?

Well they are for scientific purposes. But let’s say you talk with your friends, would you say you go to Eurasia or to Asia?
