Using the largest [[list of tectonic plates|tectonic plates]], Asia and Europe could be grouped as [[Eurasia]], and the very large [[Pacific Plate]] would have Mauna Kea as its highest mountain.<ref name = essay>{{cite web|url= http://www.cohp.org/personal/Seven_Summits_essay/seven_summits_essay.html|title=Seven Summits: Defining the Continents |website=www.cohp.org|first = Adam|last = Helman|date = 2008}}</ref> Puncak Jaya is actually on the [[Maoke Plate]], while Mount Wilhelm is, depending upon evolving plate tectonic understanding, on either the [[Trobriand Plate]], [[Solomon Sea Plate]], or [[Woodlark Plate]], all of whom were historically grouped with the larger Australian Plate. If not, then [[Mount Kosciuszko]] would revert to being the highest of that plate (see also [[list of highest points of Oceanian countries]]).
