Is Aulstralia a continent or a country?

We are a continent, country and an large island. As an Australian we do consider ourselves a continent made up of the mainland States of Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia and New South Wales.The mainland also has the two territories, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory (where our capital Canberra is). Our only other state is the island of Tasmania. other smaller islands make up part of our nation. (New Zealand is not one of them). Oceania is only a geographical region to identify a part of the world. Much like when you identify Scandanavia or The Balkans.

Define America. Are you talking about the United States of America or about the North and South American continents?

No, Australia is not Oceania. Oceania is the continent in which Australia is there. It also consists of New Zealand and other Pacific Islands like Fiji.

All 7 continents were joined together billions of years ago. However through time, they gradually split up, resulting in North and South America, and Australia to be separate from the main body-Europe, Asia and Africa.\n\nI figured because Europe and Asia had different coloured people which each had their unique tradition and customs. As they ruled differently due to customs, tradition and prctices, they probably decided to each govern their own way and thus they spilt up into 'different continents', though Europe and Asia are on the same piece of land.

It's a country in Oceania situated on the eastern half of the island of New Guinea and other islands such as the Bismarck Archipelago and the western Solomons.\n\nIt's also part of the region known as Melanesia.\n\nPapua New Guinea achieved independence from Australia in 1975.\n\nThe links below provide further information that might help you with your question.

Asia is the largest continent and Africa is the second largest.\n\nNorth and South America are the third and fourth largest respectively\n\nAsia, Africa and Europe (6th Largest) combined would be larger than the combined Americas\n\nI think I've heard the term Eurafrasia to describe this combined continent. Not sure if it's a 'proper' scientific term though.

Not at all.\nAntartica is a continent.\nAddison's is an immune difficiency disease of the adrenal glands.\nMay I please have the 10 points?

Well Antartica but no one lives there, my next guess would be Oceania, because yes Australia did qualify but it is now considered to be part of Asia's Confederation (as of the beginning of 2006). It was to late to get another representitive country from Oceania. So for Oceania to really have a represtitive in the World Cup they must wait another 4 years.

Unfortunately it is too true!  There are many Americans who still think Australia is in Europe!\n\n(It's Austria...)

Australasia is the area that includes Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and the many smaller islands in the vicinity, most of which are the eastern part of Indonesia.

(m)\n\nAustralia (also called Australia-New Guinea, Sahul, Meganesia, Greater Australia or Australinea) is a continent comprising (in order of size) the Australian mainland, New Guinea, Tasmania, and intervening islands, all of which sit on the same continental shelf. These landmasses are separated by seas overlying the continental shelf — the Arafura Sea and Torres Strait between Australia and New Guinea, and Bass Strait between mainland Australia and Tasmania.\n\nWhen sea levels were lower during the Pleistocene ice age, including the last glacial maximum about 18,000 years ago, the lands formed a single, continuous landmass. During the past ten thousand years rising sea levels overflowed the lowlands and separated the continent into today's low-lying semi-arid mainland and the two mountainous islands of New Guinea and Tasmania.\n\nGeologically the continent extends to the edge of the continental shelf, so the now-separate lands can still be considered a continent.[1] Due to the spread of flora and fauna across the single Pleistocene landmass, the separate lands have a related biota.\n\nNew Zealand is not on the same continental shelf and so is not part of the continent of Australia but is part of the wider region known as Australasia.
