Barely, and not at all if you want to be technical about it and remember where the Suez Canal is. And geographers already consider Europe and Asia to be one de facto continent, not so "AfroEurAsia."

If you think a canal separates continents then the Panama canal separates America.

Sure, but I don't really care one way or the other. My comment was merely a correction to your statement that Africa is connected to Asia. It actually isn't.

It is in fact connected. A Canal is not an unbroken body of water.

Sure it is. If it were not, ocean-going ships would not be able to pass through them. Locks merely involve putting into the water something temporary and man-made.

Never heard of bridges as well as tunnels of the Suez canal?

The Suez Canal isn't a natural body of water. The whole thing is man-made, not just the locks.

Some geographers do consider Africa to be part of the same landmass that contains Europe and Asia.

I think we all know that it is manmade; the point was that it separates the landmass of Africa from Asia, if that's what supposedly decides which continent is which.

If an unbroken body of water is all that is required to create a separate continent we end up in all sorts of silly places? By that reasoning the UK mainland is a continent, Ireland is a continent, the Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands are one or more continents, the Lofoten Islands are one or more continents, and so on. It sounds silly but the Scilly Isles would also count as a continent, being some distance off the coast of Cornwall in SW England. And what of the Caribbean islands, the Falkland Islands, and so on?

It's not. That whole sideshow was just a diversion and not worth the time it's consumed.

What makes a river or a canal into a separation between continents? I can understand an ocean being a separator but a canal? That's just silly.

If an ocean is a separator does that make Hawaii a different continent?
