Quote: rok3269 - 2010.06.10. 04:58:11 If north of Panama is North America, And South of Panama is South America, Where does that leave Panama??
I know that PAnama is considered part of Central AMerica, and, if you subscribe to the theory that north and south are diffeent continents, then Panama could technically be a third continent as it is Central America. The rub there is that Central Americe is not considered the divider, Mexico is, which is north of Central America/Panama. Basically it depends on whenther you subscribe to the 5, 6, or 7 continent model.
Just my 2 cents.
Read it again -
Panama-> North is N.A.
South of Panama is S.A. Not north OF Panama; Panama & North. Central America has always been considered part of North America (even though most US citizens think that North America only has one country in it
) I have never seen Central America considered its own continent.
