Soph all I can say is, I am glad I dont have Geography, else i'd be in trouble :lol: But at the moment i'm ill but praising the lord that I have my french oral next friday rather than the thursday which is my birthday :D
 
I believe Central America is a region. Not a continent. It's a CONTINENT poll people! :p There's only 7 continents in the world (at the moment) so stop making more up to confuse me! :lol:
Poor Liffy worked hard on here geography :lol:

One of my previous birthdays was during an InfoTech prac exam - woo I was singing happy birthday to myself as the creepy examiner went around :lol:
 
Well I am in North America. United States - Michigan to be exact. I do agree - it has been so much fun to "meet" so many people from all over the world.

Liffy - I was wondering where you have been!

HAHA - you know your so funny....but I bet you probably got told off for singing
 
Haha, I love geography! Yes, Central America is a region, not a continent and Australasia refers to Australia, NZ and nearby islands, so Liffy is correct. I remember taking a geography test on Africa way back when. The map was blank and I had to name all the countries in the continent as well as the capitals. Talk about getting a headache. :lol:

It's nice chatting with people around the world. :D

Oh thank goodness. I knew I wasn't being dumb again. :p
 
About Australasia, my bad, sorry, thought there was not an Asia option and as English is not my mother tongue I messed up.

About Central America, well, it's not in my mind, it's the central region in America and it includes: Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize and Costa Rica. Yeah, it's not a continent, but it's a region of America like south and north America that were options on the poll.
 
^Actually South and North America, although they are "regions" they're also names of the actual continents, whilst Central America isn't. I think that's why it's a tad bit confusing. Sorry! :p
 
First the weather now the land :lol: But at least I now know all about American regions/continents...well I hope so! Am I right in thinking that Brazil is what makes up most of South America?!?!
 
Well, I thought I was going crazy but after some research I realized that there are different points of view about how many continents there are depending of the convection and models. When I was at primary school I was taught that there were 5 (America being only one and subdivided in 3 regions) + Antarctica. But I see there are people that divide America in two.
So there can be from 4 to 7 continents and, I guess, in different countries they teach different things.:wtf:
 
we too had 6 - no North and South America, but maybe they changed it in the mean time. it has been a while since I went to school and took geography
 
^Yeah, I read about that too. Different countries teach different models, but I believe most english-speaking countries now teach the 7-continent model.

If you read here (scroll down a bit), it'll tell you all about the different models and which countries prefer which. I haven't done geography in a looong time, but I think I was taught the 7-continent model. *shrugs*

Haha - and yes, it IS confusing - we can't even decide how many continents there are! :lol:
 
^You evil person! :D

Actually, I have a friend who is currently living in Antarctica...

Really? Do tell...are there still colonies there? I thought they were abandoned or something - or was that me watching too many sci-fi movies again. :confused:
