im highkey convinced that 99% of americans cant name the 7 continents correctly
Africa, Australia, South America, North America, Antarctica, Asia, Europe (?)
Probably messed that up but eh
australia is not a continent lghjglkhjglk
its oceania which also includes n. zealand, polynesia, etc.
Told you I messed up
If I wasn’t sick rn I might be able to? Idk geography isn’t my strong suit.
Oceania isn’t considered a continent where I live. Its Australia.
Australia is a continent and I have Google backing me up
Do people really not know the seven continents???????
Australia… isn’t… a continent… it’s… Oceania…
A continent’s a big chunk of mass do it’d be australia
OK YALL MOST AMERICAN SCHOOLS CONSIDER AUSTRALIA TO BE A CONTINENT BECAUSE THE SYLLABUS AND WHAT INFORMATION IS TAUGHT VARIES FROM SCHOOL DISTRICT TO SCHOOL DISTRICT
I cant believe this got 97 notes ajfkskd
and a discussion wheter australia is or isnt a continent djgkdn
Yeah i was taught that Australia is a continent and country so
this is weird
wikipedia english calls it australia
while other languages call it oceania
German says Australia
In Croatia it’s Australia. It’s both a country and a continent.
Our books were inconsistent. Half of them said Australia, and the other half said Oceania.
And Indians are just as ridiculously bad at geography as Americans despite having it as a school subject (while Americans do not). One of my classmates thought Czechoslovakia was in Africa…
In Australia we use both….
Australia for the continent.
Australiasia for Australia, New Zealand, and a couple of neighbouring islands, sometimes including Papua.
Oceania as a broader geographic region, also including Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia. Its a large enough geographic region that it also includes the Bonin island (Japanese), Hawaii, Juan Fernandez Islands (Chilean), and the Cocos Keeling Islands (Australian, but closer to Java than Australia…).
And if you want to play plate tectonics, it’s called the Australian plate. The current position seems to be that it broke from the Indo-Australian plate (again). Much of what is included in Oceania is not on the Australian plate, nor any where close to it.
sjdkak i almost forgot of this post
thanks for your input
In Canada we were mostly taught Australia (Australia is a continent, country, and an island! Wow so cool), but we have some books that say Oceania and that’s what I always went by. Bottom line is it’s sort of a grey area and no one’s really right or wrong.
this is to educate my non-American followers. This really is how the US sees itself. (and yes, 95% of the time, Florida = WHAT?!)
In Florida the more North you go, the more “South” you get
In Florida the central part pretends to be the south, the western part pretends to be the northeast and the south pretends to be the west I’m not even kidding you
… Please tell me you guys are kidding.
Florida is like it’s own country I swear
I’m from Florida and I can confirm this. Also, South Florida is basically Miami and alligators.
oh, i always assumed florida was part of The South?
north florida is yes. The rest is not.
I’m from Florida, and grew up in SC/NC. Can confirm all true. 👍
Um. This is so wrong.
You’re forgetting the part where California sees itself as its own entity.
We do not want to be grouped in with everyone else, thanks.
clearly none of you have ever met someone from texas
