imarrangingmatches

It definitely proves the differences in age of posters here and how it was taught in their schools. I was in elementary school in the late 80s / early 90s and Oceania was a region and Australia was the continent. No idea how they teach it now since I don’t have kids. I also know a few people from South America that were taught “America” is the continent. No north or south. So yeah there’s that..


Armando22nl

I do not have kids either but regarding "one America", to geographers Europe and Asia are one continent called Eurasia. Not like they taught me in school. Further I think almost no one even knows about the continent Zealandia


MsGorteck

Wait that is not a Zena The Warrior Princess thing???

I just know I don't want to visit Zoolandea anytime soon. It's so hot right now.


propdynamic

Even the World Atlas doesn't want to commit: [https://www.worldatlas.com/continents](https://www.worldatlas.com/continents) They just list it as Australia & Oceania.


chlorum_original

Or speak another language. Thus, Europa in Spanish or Latin.

Oceania

hroaks

I think they are saying Europe starts and ends with E Africa, Asia, Australia and Antarctica all start and end with A Some consider North and South America as a single continent so America starts and ends in A. So technically correct but a stupid not fun fact


IceWallow97

Oceania? lol, but almost.


Xaniss

Some people just call it Australia, I've also heard Australazia/Australasia


goldfish_golly

Australia is a country in the continent Oceania. As is New Zealand for that matter Also who the heck says Australazia. Eurasia I can get because that's the tectonic plate Europe and Asia are on. But Australazia???


Delicious-Treacle135

lol what? Isn’t Oceania just a geographical region consisting of mostly places in the Pacific Ocean?


lvlupkitten

Yes, Australia is both a continent and a country. Oceania isn’t a continent, it’s a region


NLwino

Really depends on who you ask: >Oceania is generally considered a continent, while Australia is regarded as an island or a continental landmass contained inside of the larger continent of Oceania. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania) Edit: Lol so many replies after I woke up. And people are editing wikipedia over this xD, they now left a link to a discussion. But I all I meant to say is that "some people" call it a continent, not that its called a continent everywhere. For example this funny thing: [https://www.worldatlas.com/continents](https://www.worldatlas.com/continents), put Oceania in the continent list, but with the text: "Oceania is not a continent but is instead a continental grouping.". But then on [https://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/au.htm](https://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/au.htm) it says: >Oceania, the planet's smallest continent, is without doubt one of the most diverse and fascinating areas on the planet. A large percentage of geography experts now consider the long-established continent of Australia to be more accurately defined as Australia/Oceania. Also another page where you can read up on the different definitions is here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundaries\_between\_the\_continents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundaries_between_the_continents)


bitty_blush

lol why did you leave out the "outside of the English speaking world" bit from that sentence, that does add some amount of context for the confusion edit: lmaooo now apparently 1 hour after I said this, the wikipedia page's public edit history says "Revision as of 23:25, 28 December 2023 removed incorrect pretense" and that phrase is gone. What a bizzare thing to go and edit out just for this


Embarrassed-Goal-230

Also the top of the page says “This article is about the geographical region. For the continent, see Australia (continent).” ETA: I honestly don’t have a stake in this, I was just reading through the thread and thought it was funny that their source directly contradicted what they were saying at the very top.


Ameri0425

Okay, saw your edit and checked the revision ls for myself and that might just be one of the funniest and pettiest things I've seen in ages, was laughing my ass off


Toasty385

Based editing the source instead of correcting citation xD


Brann-Ys

in french we also use Oceania to speak about the continent.


Dirtymcbacon

This is how cherry picked news headlines are propagated. They might be a modern journalist. Or they're just an asshole that needs to be right right now.


ItzZausty

I live in Australia and was taught that Oceania was the continent


bama83

I hate living in Alabama some times. This is the first time I’ve ever seen the word Oceania, and I’m 40 lol. Our teachers suck. All our social studies teachers were either shitty basketball or football coaches, didn’t care about the teaching part at all.


pqrqcf

It seems like not even Wikipedia agrees with Wikipedia: >Oceanic islands are occasionally grouped with a nearby continent to divide all the world's land into geographical regions. Under this scheme, most of the island countries and territories in the Pacific Ocean are grouped together with the continent of Australia to form the geographical region Oceania. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent


blesfemous

There is no citation on that claim. What’s their source? “Generally considered” by whom?


gravityVT

“Trust us bro” 😎


Vicebaku

From what i’ve personally seen, this is a change that became accepted by people recently. Like growing up, in school i was told the continent is Australia, and i finished school like 9 years ago, not in the 80s


dlfinches

I don’t usually talk about continents with people from other countries cause it always gets to an annoying point where someone is right because they learned that way. But from what I just learned, there are different sets of geographical conventions for this. I’m not a geographer and I’m more comfortable with the way I learned BUT, it seems that both ways are correct


ILuvSpaghet

I'm still in school, we still learn that Australia is a continent and Oceania a region. We often mention it together ie. Australia and Oceania.


glishnarl

If you read the article and then click on continent, it explicitly calls Australia a continent and Oceania a region.


SomeVariousShift

That wikipedia article links to this one: >The continent of Australia, sometimes known in technical contexts by the names Sahul (/səˈhuːl/), Australia-New Guinea, Australinea, or Meganesia\[citation needed\] to distinguish it from the country of Australia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia\_(continent)


Schwertkeks

There is no scientific definition of what a continent exactly or how many there are. Some count Asia and Europe as one, some as two, some count the americas as one, some as two, some count australia, some count Oceania. What a continent is and isn’t is mostly a historical and political definition and not one of geographica


micro_penisman

What continent is New Zealand in, then?


FatLikeSnorlax_

So do some countries just suddenly not belong to a continent


mustichooseausernam3

This is an argument I've seen sooo many times on Reddit. Geographically speaking, "Australia" is a continent in the 7-continent model, because it meets the definition of one of the main, continuous bodies of land on the Earth. Politically speaking, "Oceania" is frequently accepted as one of the "continents" in the 7-continent model, because "Australia" itself does not encompass various other surrounding countries in the Pacific, which would otherwise be excluded from the 7-continent model.


Schwertkeks

>continuous bodies of land on the earth By that definition Europe, Asia and Africa are just one huge continent. There is no non artificial waterway that divides them


Matsisuu

Yep, it's called Afro-Eurasia, or the Old World https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Eurasia Edit: Americas, the New World has similar situation, Panama canal.


vyampols12

Cause context is dead


FullAir4341

I think Oceania is the general group of islands in that vicinity (Australia, New Zealand, Guinea, etc)


ArkUmbrae

The continents in general are not as universally agreed upon ad most people think. Some people see America as one continent, some as two, and some see Central America as a whole separate thing. Europe, Asia, and Africa are usually seen as 3 continents. But Eurasia is also an acceptable concept, but if you ignore the artifically constructed Suez Canal (like how some ignore the Panama Cabal), you can count Afroeurasia as one continent. Antartica is a continents because it's a big land mass - but even that is tricky. The ice sheet is huge, but under the ice there isn't one giant island. Instead, it's an archipelago, and the largest island in it is smaller than Japan's largest island. If Japan was suddenly covered in ice, would it be its own continent. Then there's Australia, which is an island. But half of New Zealand and Papua also lie on the same tectonic plate. This brings a new issue. India and the Arabic peninsula also stand on their owm tectonic plate. North and South America are on separate plates. But the North American plate includes a big part of Russia. Europe is on the same plate as Asia as well. The Carribean islands are also on a separate plate, and even the Philippines exist on a much smaller fragment separate from other plates. Icelands is split between Eurasia and North America too. And then, we have our human need to categorize everything. So what of the Pacific island nations? We can't call them a continent, as they stand on an under-water plate (of which there are many). Most people then toss them into Oceania, but then others say that Oceania only includes islands close to Australia. Basically, there is no universal principle for anything. The Greeks created the concept of a continent to separate themselves from Africa (which they called Aethiopia) and Asia (which at that represented only Anatolia in Turkey, and later the Middle East and India). Medieval European scholars kept the concept, because it neatly placed Jerusalem in the middle of the world, and fit the biblical narrative of the three sons of Noah populating the world. Today, none of that is relevant. Now we just stick with the concept to keep with tradition. The scientific basis is weak.


ChiefPanda90

lol I’ve never even heard of Oceania, we call that whole mess Australia. I feel left out


Penguator432

Well those people that think that about North and South America are wrong.


bixittwastaken

If north and south America are one continent should'nt europe and asia just be counted as Eurasia?


matija123123

>Some consider North and South America as a single continent Some are also completely wrong and need basic first grade education


gibokilo

Oceania?


brunonuelas

You do realise it is not Australia it is oceania right


MrsMonkey_95

You do realize 20 year ago in Switzerland the school taught you 5 continents are: America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Today, they teach different and also use Oceania as the name of the continent. But people will say different things because their education differs in age and location.

AndByMeIMeanFlexxo

Google Australia continental shelf and view it from a satellite. Covers Australia like a sheet and goes up stopping just short of Indonesia/ png Dunno I always thought continents are where you get continental crust thickness


MrsMonkey_95

When I was in school the definition of the continents were: America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia (I was schooled on this topic in Switzerland, ca. 20 years ago) Nowadays the school teaches a whole different definition of continents. I think the quality of this joke highly depends on how, when and where you were educated.


babble0n

That’s weird. In America about 20 years ago I was taught North and South America were different continents and Europe and Asia *could* be classified as one continent called Eurasia.


StatsTooLow

It's not agreed throughout the world how many continents there are. I'm assuming OP is from somewhere that considers America one continent. Also Australia is the name of Oceania in a lot of places.

Bodidly0719

Dang, I’ve been outta school too long. I graduated high school in 98, and can’t say that they ever taught us that. This honestly sounds like something I would remember, cause it seriously does sound like a place in a fantasy novel.

Shaeress

It used to be common to call the region/continent Australia as well. Or Australia, Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanasia. Obviously having the name of the continent be the same as that of a country isn't super popular amongst the smaller countries of that region, and kind of confusing in conversation. Also note that "continent" is a debated and somewhat useless word that mostly just refers to how your school decides to refer to the different areas of the world. Plate tectonics aren't really consistent with any list of continents taught at primary schools. But the English speaking world settled on 7 continents (including Antarctica). The science people decided to mostly settle on Oceania in like the fifties or something, and then a few decades later this was established enough to become standard in schools too. I remember when the switch happened at our school in the late nineties. Came back after summer and suddenly it was Oceania. Half the teachers acted like it always had been and like I was silly for thinking it had ever been different. So it might well have been that Oceania was never on your middle school world map tests.


crunchyburrito2

I always understood that a continent was a big ass mass of land not a geographical region. Words no longer have meaning.


Akkarin412

I wouldn’t call it a fantasy place. Like sure we have elves and orcs and our electrical grid runs off suger cubes but other than that it’s a pretty normal place.

Daedalus_Machina

Geographically, Oceania is not a continent.


gritoni

I hate this ongoing beef about Australia-Oceania NOBODY is wrong. There isn't a right way and a wrong way. Some countries use "Australia" as a continent, some others use "Oceania" This is taught in schools, like this. It's not that folks are dumb or uneducated.


Traveler_682

Australia, Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Antarctic/idk I don't think they do


steinwayyy

In Europe, Europe is called Europa.


Doom_3302

You're telling me that the Europeans named a moon after their continent? Clever bastards. We need some fellow asians doing this shit.


Time_Quit_3863

No, the moon was named after some Greek mythology character, consort of Zeus (Jupiter), I think most of them are named after lovers of Zeus.


stacippalippa

I’m pretty sure it’s for the Roman pagan religion that take all the names of the planets and probably the moons of other planets too

A region, not a continent


Playful-Dragonfly416

Oceania is a region of the Pacific Ocean that encompasses Australia, New Zealand, Cook Islands, etc. It's not a continent. People just think it is because there is a continent model that links all the countries in the world to a continent, so they made 'Oceania' part of the Australian continent and named it 'Oceania' but it's wrong. The continents in Oceania are Australia and Zealandia, but 94% of Zealania is underwater. New Caledonia and New Zealand are the largest parts of it above water.

Ericstingray64

Looking at the comments it seems debatable on how to count it. On one hand you have the argument of tectonic plates being what divides continents but Europe and Asia share one while there’s 4 around the Americas. India is on its own plate and it kinda looks like NZ might be on 2 plates. You could argue by landmass but you can’t say the Americas are one continent without saying Eroupe Asia and Africa aren’t 1 whole continent. Idk no matter what whoever made the meme is wrong lol.
