Europe is the smallest continent, although really shouldn't be a continent at all since there is no separation from it and Asia. That should be one, same with North and South America, it's one land mass.
Antarctica isn't land, it's ice, basically.

By Nebulas logic, the Pacific Ocean should be a continent.

What is the definition of a continent?
A continent is basically a very large land mass of some sort. Antarctica is a very large land mass therefore it is still considered to be a "continent" the same with Australia.

It all depends on how you view what a 'continent' is. A large mass of land? Plates? Here's a video explaining EVERYTHING on continents.

And they made Pluto a planet only because they found another planet(s) that were bigger than Pluto. So to avoid a cluster fuck of questions they just re-classified Pluto because they're lazy.

Pluto will always be a planet in our hearts. :sob:
It's alright Pluto, I'm not a planet either.

Plates mean nothing ... If they did, there would have to be more continents.
The only person who will ever know what a continent is, is the person who made the word up. Now go and ask him / her, they're probably dead though.
No Nebula, no one took "Earth science", well, probably not by choice.
There are 7, justified by the UN. Which from that video there were only 6, but that noob dug a hole in the middle and "separated" the Americas.
How can man made "trench" be just enough to separate them? :/
Also, if Pluto isn't a planet because of its size, then the Sun isn't a star.
From Pluto, to NASA; "Your mum thinks I'm big enough!" ...
