The seven-continent model is usually taught in China and most English-speaking countries. The six-continent combined-Eurasia model is preferred by the geographic community, the former states of the USSR (including Russia), and Japan. The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Latin America, and some parts of Europe, including GreeceCithakan:Citation needed, ItalyCithakan:Citation needed, Belgium, Portugal and Spain. This model may be taught to include only the five inhabited continents (excluding Antarctica),[8][9] as depicted in the Olympic logo.[11]

The terms Oceania or Australasia are sometimes substituted for Australia to denote a continent encompassing the Australian mainland and various islands of the Alantic Ocean not part of other continents. For example, the Atlas of Canada names Oceania,[2] as does the model taught in America and in Latin America and Iberia.
