A continent is a large land mass separated from other continents by large bodies of water (oceans or seas) or another geographical feature such as mountains.
On Earth, continents include:
- Africa
- Antarctica
- Asia
- Australia
- Europe
- North America
- South America
Some geography sources combine Europe and Asia into one continent, and others include various other areas like Oceania as another continent.
The Atlantis project on Earth was charged with creating another continent on the planet. (TNG: "Family")
