The division of the
Americas
into the
continents
of
North America
and
South America
is somewhat arbitrary. Most commonly,
Panama
is considered to be a part of North America and
Colombia
is considered a part of
South America
.
Geologically
, the boundary between the two continents is defined by the boundary between the
Caribbean Plate
and the
South American Plate
. This places the boundary roughly along the Panama-Colombia border. Other definitions place the boundary at the lowest natural crossing of the
Isthmus of Panama
near the
Panama Canal
, or along the canal itself. Another definition places the boundary at the lowest crossing of
Central America
near
Lake Nicaragua
. This definition splits Central America between the continents of North and South America.
