The continents are the great land masses of the earth. There are seven continents on Earth now: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. \nThere are seven continents on Earth now. \nAsia and Europe are not separate land masses. They are divided by the Ural Mountains. \n\nThere are no countries in Antarctica. The U.S. and many other countries operate science stations there, but no nation owns the land. \n\nSee maps and much more in\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/geography/continents/

The Number of Countries in the World\nFrom Matt Rosenberg,\nYour Guide to Geography.\nFREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!\nFeb 8 2006\n\nBy Most Accounts, 192 is the Correct Answer\nA very frequent geographical question is "How many countries are in the world?." Different numbers pop up when one inquires or reads about the number of countries in the world. Each source you use often yields a different answer.\nUnited Nations\n\nThere are 191 members of the United Nations. Unfortunately, the number 191 is too often used to represent the number of countries in the world. Although this number represents almost all of the countries in the world, there is still one country (the Vatican City) that is independent and has chosen not to become a member of the U.N. so 191 is not the number of countries in the world.\n\nThe country not recognised yet is Taiwan.\n\nNeat question.

There are still 9 according to the latests NASA reports. Although it has been found that there are several other small objects orbiting past Neptune that are similar in make up and size to Pluto- that pluto's categorization of planet will not be changed. That instead a number system is being talked about to go into effect that will number the bundles of pluto-like objects. Though again, pluto would not be changed. (First Source)\n\nIf it weren't for the stubborn desire to keep tradition- Pluto WOULD NOT be considered a planet, it just does not have the characteristics to make it one. But because tradition is very important in this society- Pluto remains a planet for now.

Reminder: 5n Theory, all continents used to be attached to one another- so in theory this is highly possible- if two of every species has moved from place to place. Also remember, animals have a good sense of unusual events happening, like earthquakes and things, so they might have had the sense to know where to go. Then you might ask about the unicorns, but it is said that they were too stubborn to get on the ship... dragons and pegasuses... I have no idea about.

Unknown. We don't even know for certain how many there are now. There's at least three, but some scientific research indicates there may be as many as 11.

It was once thought that land on earth is stationary and that the continents had always been their current shape, even though they may have been covered by more water.\n\nMore recently however, it has been discovered that the continents were actually all one mass of land and at one point separated, floating apart on sheets of plate tectonics.  \n\nProof came quickly.  It is now easy to see the east coast of South America fitting into west Africa for instance.  Bones of related land-dwelling creatures were also found on the coastlines of the two distant continents.

continents \n\nThe large parts of the surface of the Earth that rise above sea level. The seven major continents are Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. \n\n\nContinents are made from the lightest rocks in the Earth. Some of these are also the oldest known rocks on Earth, with an age of 3.5 billion years, measured by radioactive dating.\nAccording to the theory of plate tectonics, continents move along piggy-back on the tectonic plates like rafts floating on water.\n\ntry this link for the best information =\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent

There are definetly more than nine planetes in the solar system.There are many discovered by scientists and many more are yet to be found. And it is suggested that there are many more solar systems in the milky way.

7 is what I learned in school.\nBut, some people do classify Eurasia as one continent since it's one large landmass divided only by the Ural Mountains (It's divided culturally, not really geographically.)... so that would make it 6, in a sense.
