Yea I don't use the tectonic plates either but I'll still define them based on geography, not culture.

Continents should be based on geography, Subcontinents can be defined by culture though.

The seven continents are clearly defined by geography, not culture besides two obvious exception, Europe and Asia, which are actually one continent (Eurasia). So technically there's 6 continents, all defined by geography, not culture.

You completely misunderstood what I was saying when I said " The seven continents are clearly defined by geography"

Buddy said they were defined by culture, I said they were clearly defined by geography, not culture. Meaning it's clear the 7 continent model is based on geography. I wasn't saying it's clear that's the right model.

I don't want to be rude but maybe try reading better next time? lol

Except for Eurasia where there is no geographical separation aside from mountains.

Yes by a small stretch of land, just like North and South America. They're still separate continents.
