Animated, color-coded map showing the various continents and regions. Depending on the convention and model, some continents may be consolidated or subdivided: for example, Eurasia is most often subdivided into Europe and Asia (red shades), while North and South America are sometimes recognized as one American continent (green shades).

• The seven-continent model is usually taught in China, India, parts of Western Europe and most English-speaking countries.^{[ଆଧାର ଲୋଡ଼ା]}
• The six-continent combined-America model is used in Spanish-speaking countries and in some parts of Europe including Greece (equivalent 5 inhabited continents model (i.e. excluding Antarctica) still also found in texts).

Using this latter model as a starting point, the International Olympic Committee uses only inhabited continents (excluding Antarctica) and thus a five-continent model as depicted in the Olympic logo.

The terms Oceania or Australasia are sometimes substituted for Australia to denote a region encompassing the Australian continent and various islands of the Pacific Ocean that are not included in the seven-continent model. For example, the Atlas of Canada names Oceania, as does the model taught in Italy, Greece and in Latin America, Portugal and Spain.
