What is the only continent on Earth without an active volcano?

I have never heard of an active volcano in Australia, so I chose it. I have always lucked out on multiple choice questions, even in college. Don't get me wrong, I studied & was a good student, but having LUCK on the guesses made a huge diff!

Anthony Griffin......Don't think cold weather is relevant at all.....Iceland had a very troublesome eruption not too long ago for just one example.......

Grace Vissirini, you are so incorrect. South American is a separate continent from North America. Central is part of South America. North America, South America, Asia, African, Europe, Australia and Antarctica are our continents.im surprised someone didn't call you on that error!

Grace Vissirini, Central America is part of the continent of North America. South America is a separate continent. http://www.7continentslist.com/

Steven Joseph Courts, Aus is considered a continent as we are “a large, continuous, distinct landmass, preferably, separated by a vast expanse of water”. Thus, we are the smallest continent, but by definition, definitely one. A continent is basically a huge island, which we are, just a million miles from everyone else lol

Anthony Griffin, That Region of this part of the world is known as Australasia, which includes New Zealand, Christmas Island, Norfolk Islands all are part of Australasia, NZ has plenty of Volcanoes, some active, some extinct, some just quietly lying dormant for now, all over NZ

Australia is not a continent . It is a country on the continent of Australasia.

Interesting, when I researched this a year or so ago. Geo Australia had not declared all the volcanoes as extinct. In addition there are still two active volcanoes on two islands nearby. Howe Island? and one other (I can't remember their names). I would consider Geo Australia the most reliable of sources.

Christopher J Voce, NZ is not part of Australia. The answer is Australia not Australasia.

Donna Smyth, Australia is a continent. As Australians, we are taught this at school.

Actually as an Australian, I can assure you, Australia is a continent and we definitely don’t have an active volcano. Hug Br,

Well, the Aussies have plenty of other things in their natural areas to make life dangerous.

Donna Smyth, you are incorrect. Australia is both a continent and a country. It is part of the "geographic region" of Oceania, which, by definition, is not actually a continent.

Susan Binaris Eckert, Have faith in yourself, go with your gut feeling and don't second guess your self and you will have more success, I am just learning this and it is working for me good luck

Me too Suraya Choudhury,

Christopher J Voce, doesn’t share a continental shelf, never geologically part of Australia. They once had the option of becoming an Australian state as, along with Norfolk Island, they had been part of the old NSW colony. Other Australian territories not part of the continent include Christmas Island and Australian Antarctic Territory; historically PNG was also an Australian territory prior to independence in 1975

Plus at last Tesla Alset has also been proven wrong, yee hah; btw if NZ is not part of Continental Australasia, which then continent does it belong ?

Ok I may be wrong about NZ; although we were tought at school that NZ was part of Australasia, however Papua New Guinea is unequivocally part of the continent of Australia, so the question is still quite wrong!
