Search Results - Continent

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A continent is one of several large landmasses on Earth. They are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criterion, with seven regions commonly regarded as continents – they are (from largest in size to smallest) Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.[1][2]

The term "the Continent", used in Great Britain, Ireland, Sardinia, Sicily, Madeira, Azores and the Scandinavian Peninsula, means mainland Europe.[3]

Conventionally, "Continents are understood to be large, continuous, discrete masses of land, ideally separated by expanses of water."[4] Many of the seven most commonly recognized continents identified by convention are not discrete landmasses separated by water. The criterion 'large' leads to arbitrary classification Greenland, with a surface area of 2,166,086 km2 is considered the world's largest island, while Australia, at 7,617,930 km2 is deemed to be a continent. Likewise, the ideal criterion that each be a continuous landmass is often disregarded by the inclusion of the continental shelf and oceanic islands, and contradicted by classifying North and South America and Asia and Africa as continents, with no natural separation by water in either case. This anomaly reaches its extreme if the continuous land mass of Europe and Asia is considered to constitute two continents. The Earth's major landmasses are washed upon by a single, continuous World Ocean, which is divided into a number of principal oceanic components by the continents and various geographic criteria.[5][6]

The narrowest meaning of continent is that of a continuous[7] area of land or mainland, with the coastline and any land boundaries forming the edge of the continent. In this sense the term continental Europe is used to refer to mainland Europe, excluding islands such as Great Britain, Ireland, and Iceland, and the term continent of Australia may refer to the mainland of Australia, excluding Tasmania. Similarly, the continental United States refers to the 48 contiguous United States in central North America and may include Alaska in the northwest of the continent (both separated by Canada), while excluding Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

2. International Employee Benefit Trusts
November 20, 2009

The image of an International Employee Benefit Trust to most people conjures up large conglomerates and their subsidiaries in other countries.

An International Employee Benefit Trust will do that. Briefly the parent company in the UK sets up a Trust which is able to accept contributions ... (read more)
