Is it generally accepted to call the Australian continent "Oceania"?
Q. My daughter has an electronic LeapFrog Explorer Globe. When clicking on Australia, it identifies that continent as Oceania. I was taught that there are seven continents and Australia is one of them. Is this the new way of referencing that area to include New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and all the other islands? Or is it not that common to call the area Oceania?

A. The term 'oceania' is used to group the island nations of the South Pacific with Australia and New Zealand into a convenient socio-economic (and also international sporting) unit for convenience. The south pacific island nations are scattered over a wide area, and are not large enough to be considered socio-economic units in their own right (but each nation is independent, politically and econiomically). Both Australia and New Zealand have large enough populations and levels of economic activity to be considered separately, but all the island nations put together are still not large enough; therefore they are lumped together with Australai and New Zealand as 'Oceania'. It is also a convenient way of distiguishing the island nations from… [cont.]

What would have caused the societies of the Americas and Oceania to be so different from other societies?
Q. In what ways would they have in common?
Asked by Kay - Tue Aug 21 20:55:49 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Different? Isolation over long periods of time, different solutions for the same problems. Common? Well men basically have the the same half dozen needs no matter where they are. A need for cooperative agriculture (usually water works) is going to result in a more advanced government structure. Lack of vital resources results in some sort of trade network. Competition for resources tends to result in violence.

Why do people say Oceania is a continent when it isn't?
Q. Fact Australia is a Continent and country. Fact Australia is part of a region called Oceania. So why do some Atlas's claim Australia is part of the Oceania Continent. WHY? Do you think NZ should be classed a continent.?
Asked by bebaa - Mon Feb 2 08:50:38 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. This occurs because the definition of a continent is somewhat arbitrary. The general Western convention is that there are seven continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. However, geographically speaking, Europe is essentially a peninsula extending off of Asia, so Eurasia could be considered one continent. Or Africa with Eurasia could be seen as one continent, with the Americas together as a single continent as well. Oceania is sometimes regarded as a continent that includes Australia, rather than Australia as a standalone continent, because many Pacific islands are connected to Australia by plate tectonics or ocean currents. For example, New Zealand and New Guinea are not part of the… [cont.]
