For example, is Hawaii part of North America, Asia, or just considered Pacific?
Barring that, which continental plate is Hawaii on?
EDIT***
Could a mod move this to the regular lounge? I swear I was just in there when I posted this :/

Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?

Wrong.
Hawai'i is Polynesia, not North America - both culturally and geographically.

How about Oceania. I've heard Australia and the islands in the Pacific Ocean referred to this as almost a name for a new continent.
off topic...
What continent is Greenland a part off?
Iceland is part of Europe but Greenland is part of Denmark is part of Europe...I dunno.

Greenland is not a part of Denmark: it's an autonomous dependency.
