Detailed explanation-1: -A continent is a large continuous mass of land conventionally regarded as a collective region.

Sometimes Europe and Asia are considered one continent called Eurasia.

Detailed explanation-2: -A continent could be a single landmass or a part of a very large landmass, as in the case of Asia or Europe.
