The 7-region model is usually taught in the [[United States]], while the geological 6-continent model is taught in [[Canada]] and in [[East Asia]]. In Europe and [[Latin America]] including the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Mexico]], they teach the 6-region model, which is shown in the [[Olympic Games]] flag as five rings, excluding Antarctica.
 
During the [[ice age]], the supercontinent of Africa-Eurasia and the Americas was formed, connected with the [[Bering Land Bridge]]. Another land bridge connected Australia and [[New Guinea]] then, and they formed the continent of [[Sahul]]. This can give the following 3-continent model of the ice age: Africa-Eurasia-America, Sahul, and Antarctica.
