- Boundaries_between_continents abstract "The boundaries between the continents of Earth are generally a matter of geographical convention. Several slightly different conventions are in use, just as the number of continents is most commonly considered to be seven but may range as low as five, depending on whether the Americas and Eurasia are each considered a single continent. According to the definition of a continent in the strict sense, an island cannot be part of any continent, but by convention and in practice most major islands are associated with a continent.There are three overland boundaries subject to definition:between Asia and Africa (dividing Afro-Eurasia into Africa and Eurasia): at the Isthmus of Suezbetween Asia and Europe (dividing Eurasia): along the Bosphorus, the Dardanelles, the Caucasus and the Urals (historically also north of the Caucasus, along the Kuma–Manych Depression or along the Don River)between North America and South America (dividing the Americas): the Isthmus of PanamaWhile the isthmus between Asia and Africa and that between the two Americas are today navigable, via the Suez and Panama canals, man-made diversions and canals are generally not accepted on their own accord as continent-defining boundaries; the Suez Canal happens to traverse the isthmus between the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea, dividing Asia and Africa.The remaining boundaries concern the association of islands and archipelagos with specific continents, notably:the delineation of Southeast Asia from Australasiathe delineation between Africa, Europe and Asia in the Mediterranean Seathe delineation between Asia and Europe in the Arctic Oceanthe delineation between Europe and North America in the Atlantic Oceanthe delineation between North and South America in the Caribbean Seathe delineation of Asia from North America in the North Pacific Ocean".
