It has to orbit the sun earth; it must have enough gravity momentum to have a sufficiently round shape; it must have everything in its orbital tectonic path subordinate to its own gravity.
Otherwise it is not a continent. In our lifetimes we have had to revise our number of continents from 7 to 6. Many old-timers are still salty about this simply because they learned it the old way.
