Not exactly. The three Americas are actually just one continent, so the US is in the same continent as Brazil.

    Aparently this depends on where you're taught a system of continents:

    http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continents

    Interesting quote: "The seven continent model is commonly taught in Western Europe and North America, while the six continent (combined Eurasia) model is also taught in North America and is the primary continent model used in scientific contexts. The six continent (combined Americas) model is commonly taught in Eastern Europe and South America."

    Apparently that's the system taught there but not in the countries where I've lived. :-)

      I'm born in South Western Europe.

      When I was a kid, my teachers said there are 5 continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Oceania. Later they added Antarctic as a 6th continent.

      I don't know what it's being taught currently.
