The continents of [[Earth]] are [[Eurasia]] (very often divided into [[Europe]] and [[Asia]], which exist on separate sides of the Ural Mountains), [[Africa]] (occasionally included as a part of the Eurasian supercontinent which is then referred to as [[Eurafrasia]], [[America]] (sometimes divided into [[North America]] and [[South America]]), [[Antarctica]] and [[Australia]]; however, there is no standard definition for the number of continents; we could even think in "Arctica" for the land (or sea ice) of the [[Inuit]] in the [[arctic]] [[North Pole|north pole]].

Historically (hundreds of millions of years ago), a number of other continents and supercontinents have existed, such as [[Pangaea]], [[Laurasia]] and [[Gondwanaland]]; these have been broken up and reassembled into the currently existing configuration, by the process of [[continental drift]].

[[Evolutionism|Evolutionists]] and other supporters of [[Old Earth|old earth theories]] believe that a number of other continents and supercontinents have existed over hundreds of millions of years, such as [[Pangaea]], [[Laurasia]] and [[Gondwanaland]]; these have been broken up and reassembled into the currently existing configuration, by the process of [[continental drift]].
