Are Europe and Asia seperate continents geologically speaking or are they one continent?

i read in some book it says europe and asia are techincally one continent because there is nothing that splits them from each other and there on one tectonic plate while the other continents are one seperate plates

Europe and Asia were considered separate continents long before plate tectonics were even suspected. The Ural Mountains are the geological dividing feature between the two continents, but we now know the Uralian Orogeny took place during a long period of time from the Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) Period to the Jurassic Period during the forming of Pangaea, so the two landmasses have been one since diosaurs were just starting to show up.

I think that from a geographic point of view, the tendancy is to stick with the 7 continent system everybody is familiar with. From a geologic point of view, that system sometimes seems to be on the verge of abandonment in favor of cratons.

There are actually quite a few plates in Eurasia. The two main ones that collided to form it were the Siberian Plate and the European Plate, and they pinched the much smaller Kazakhstan Block between them.

The continents Europe and Asia are basically separated by culture (except Russia and some of its satellites are in Asia I believe). Its all one big landmass on multiple plates. The entire continent is called Eurasia.

Not all landmasses are on one plate. Just like Eurasia is on multiple plates, North America sits on at least two plates, hence the joke that in a few million years California will leave the U.S. Which is true, about half of CA is on a small plate in between the pacific plate and the North American plate.

You are right, they are really one continent. They use the Ural mountains and the Black Sea as the boundaries, but in reality it is one continent called Eurasia.

It's considered one continent because it's a single landmass surrounded by ocean, but it's actually made up of several tectonic plates -- they're joined, but still moving.

In the back of the world Atlas it says 7 continients and lists then like they are seperate Asia, Africa, N & S America , antarctica, Europe, Australia.

But in the picture it looks like they are all one continient.

But if you don't want to flunk better list them like in the book.
