Click to see complete answer. Also to know is, what continent is at the top of the globe?
If we had the earliest explorers and cartographers from Australia, South America or Africa instead of Europe and Asia, it is possible we might have considered Antarctica as “top” of the globe and Arctic lying in the Southern hemisphere.
Also, how are the continents divided? Well continents are divided if large water part or areas lies between the two large blocks of landmass. But there is also exception. If we consider Asia and Europe then there is no large water mass in between them but there is a long mountain range lies there. Apart from this there is a matter of plates.
Regarding this, where are the continents and oceans located?
At the southernmost part of the earth lies the frozen continent of Antarctica. The earth's five oceans are the Atlantic between Europe and the Americas, the Pacific between the Americas and Asia, the Indian near the subcontinent of India, the Arctic in the far North, and the Southern in the far South.
Why is it not possible to see all the continents on a globe at the same time?
That would be because the earth is roughly spherical, aka an oblate spheroid. When you are looking at one side of the Earth, e.g., via the live feed from the International Space Station, you can see the continents on that side of the Earth. You can't see the continents on the other side due to the Earth being opaque.
