      It is connected by land, depending on your definition I can see the case for it, but it’s not really a useful definition.

      North and South are their own plates

      Africa is it’s own plate

        ?? Plates dont equal continents? Or do you think Turkey is its own continent? And the east coast of Africa is a seperate continent to the rest of Africa?

            Continents are large landmass separated by oceans. That’s the working definition, it’s not a particularly precise definition, but it’s the generally accepted one.

                No, because that sets a president that creates much bigger problems than the “problem” it solves.
