This might be a silly question but what's their definition of a continent? I cannnot see a pattern from the 4 listed.
In the states its a large land mass surrounded by water. Which is why Antarctica is listed, Antarctica is also one of the largest continent. And also why some scholars a changing the definition from 7 to 6 and combining the name of Europe and Asia to Eurasia.
