Considered :) - Beatrice-Codder, Nov 2, 2011

Answer 1

I have done some research because I wondered the same thing. It still seems ambiguous as to what continent it is part of . However, culturally they are their own entity--Central America.

Geographically speaking Central America is part of the North American continent.

Correct (by the standards of most). Some geographers, however, consider North and South to be one. - Beatrice-Codder, Nov 2, 2011

Answer 5

This is great....I was just speaking to a couple of my students today about how the bridge from Central America and South America is the Panama....

A kid asked me if you could drive to South America....I told him that according to the map....you just might be able to but the Panama Canal might cause some problems but you could get around it. Anyway, thanks for the thread Hecho!

Oh yeah, I would consider it part of Central America....just my thought.... :) - Jason7R, Nov 2, 2011
