user
the statement that "the earth has only four continents" is false because there are actually more than four continents. while there are four major landmasses containing all of the continents, the earth is divided into seven distinct continents: africa, asia, australia, europe, north america, south america and antarctica. there are also other smaller landmasses such as the islands of the caribbean, iceland and greenland that are not considered continents. therefore, the earth has more than four continents.
