North America and South America are 2 continents in a lot of models. What definition are you using that has them as one? I’m always pretty skeptical of the ones that have Europe and Asia but then just America.
?? Plates dont equal continents? Or do you think Turkey is its own continent? And the east coast of Africa is a seperate continent to the rest of Africa?
Continents are large landmass separated by oceans. That’s the working definition, it’s not a particularly precise definition, but it’s the generally accepted one.

Yes Eurasia is 1 continent too, arguably it should be afroeurasia as well.
It is connected by land, depending on your definition I can see the case for it, but it’s not really a useful definition.
North and South are their own plates
Africa is it’s own plate
So what are you arguing?

I am asking what they are supplementing their argument with
Continents are large landmass separated by oceans. That’s the working definition, it’s not a particularly precise definition, but it’s the generally accepted one.
Would you agree then that the Panama Canal separates the two Americas?
No, because that sets a president that creates much bigger problems than the “problem” it solves.
