The commonly taught seven-continent model recognizes seven continents.
Those continents are Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, and South America. A continent is generally understood as a large, continuous landmass, but the boundaries and number are partly shaped by geography, history, and educational tradition rather than by one universal scientific rule.
Europe and Asia form one continuous landmass called Eurasia, yet they are usually taught as separate continents because of historical and cultural conventions. North and South America are also sometimes combined as one continent, especially in models used in parts of Latin America. Some systems count Australia and nearby islands as Oceania instead.
The seven-continent model is especially common in English-speaking countries. It should not be confused with the five-ring symbolism of the Olympic flag, which represents inhabited continental regions differently. Antarctica is included in the geographic model even though it has no permanent native population.
