France ?
It’s arbitrary anyway.
France, The Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Italy are all on other continents as well and this is just from the top of my head.
[edit] Immediate downvote. Care to explain what’s wrong with what I said?
Oceania?
Fun fact: There are more Turks in just the European portion of turkey, than there are Lithuanians, Albanians, Estonians, Montenegrins, and Andorrans combined
Hawaii is in Oceania
I have always considered Panama’s southeast border to be South America’s border.
North and South America’s limit is in the Darien Gap, not the Canal.
Panama seems to be a bit of a stretch. It seems to me South America clearly starts at Colombia, not a little finger jutting into Panama.
Also not sure why Europe is a continent in the first place. It’s basically Western Asia. We have Central Asia, South Asia, south east Asia etc…
Tectonically speaking there’s no basis to demarcate Europe as a continent, it’s a region.
I thought Indonesias part of papau was still considered asia
Europe doesn’t magically end in Bosphorus, that is a mediaeval fairy tale based on religion
France, Spain, UK..
Completely arbitrary
You forgot Georgia and Azerbaijan
If we’re talking about contiguous land mass then Iceland
I think that Northern Italy might be slightly European also. People there also look…almost European.
What about Spain. The only country that between Europe and Africa.
Geologically, Russia is also located in North America – the Kamchatka Peninsula and part of the Russian Far East are located on the North American lithospheric plate.
What about Georgia?
The North America plate ends at Iceland
I don’t think Panama considers itself a two continent country cause they don’t think they might not think the Americas are split, but also, even the people who split the Americas don’t split them at the Panama Canal.
Several European countries still have territories in the Caribbean, Pacific or other areas
Spain
If you count islands, then your list is incomplete.
Panama Isthmus is the limit between NA and SA
Does what continent you are in have any real implications beyond geographic identification?
How come Kazakhstan is never mentioned as a European country when Russia is, and Turkey as well, even though Turkey has a far smaller area?
Both countries are called European countries all the time here in Europe, but I think I’ve never heard Kazakhstan mentioned as such.
Further proof Europe and Asia are not separate continents
Awful info graphic style map
Why don’t we make the Wallace line the border of Oceania?
This also kind of depends on us all continuing to accept the absolutely nonsense argument that Europe and Asia are distinct continents.
Spain has territories in continental Africa (and of course islands that geographocally belong to the African plate).
