Because the landmasses are joined with little degree of separation, then in terms of physical geography, Europe and Asia are a single continent, called Eurasia.
However, Europe and Asia are two different socio-political continents, ie, they are divided like that because the people who lived there have decided it to be that way.
So in one way, it is one continent, and in another way, it is two.
