A continent is one of several very large landmasses on Earth. Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents. Ordered from largest in size to smallest, they are: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. In geology, areas of continental crust include regions covered with water.
Now, the answer depends on your definition of âcontinent.â. According to Google, a continent is: Any of the world's main continuous expanses of land (Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America). This would mean Cuba would not be in North America, because Cuba is not continuous with main North America. Merriam-Webster, however, defines âcontinentâ as: One of the six or seven great divisions of land on the globe. This would put Cuba in North America, because it is included in that âdivisionâ of land.
