landmass:
Land mass refers to the total area of a country or geographical
region (which may include discontinuous pieces of land such as
islands). The Earth's total land mass is 148,939,063.133 km2
(57,511,026.002 square miles) which is about 29.2 % of its total
surface.

continent:
A continent is one of several large landmasses on Earth. They are
generally identified by convention rather than any strict
criteria, but seven areas are commonly regarded as continents –
they are (from largest in size to smallest): Asia, Africa, North
America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent
基本上一般continent會翻成大陸，而landmass則會翻成陸塊，
大陸指的是浮出海面的陸地範圍，
而陸塊指的是在海洋基底上的大陸性地殼（continent crust)。
