What is a continent when over 94 percent of it is under the water? Zealandia is an extensive belt of continental crust around ...

Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, most of the remnants of a 2 million square mile lost continent known as Zealandia have fascinated scientists since 2017. Now, researchers from GNS Science in New ...

A hidden “tear” beneath the continents may have been fueling oceanic volcanoes for millions of years, study reveals.

An illustration provided to Reuters February 18, 2017 shows what geologists are calling Zealandia (C), a continent two-thirds the size of Australia lurking beneath the waves in the southwest Pacific.

Newly released maps of Zealandia, a massive sunken landmass many have argued should be classified as Earth's eighth continent, are revealing the topography of this underwater land in unprecedented ...

The map of Earth looks settled at first glance. Continents feel fixed, named, and counted. Yet over the past few decades, geologists have been quietly reshaping that picture. One large region in the ...

About 3,500 feet under the south Pacific sits a piece of land 2 million square miles in size — about half as big as Australia. But scientists can't agree on whether this submerged land mass, called ...

EVER since Wegener published in 1915 his remarkable theory of the drift of the continents and the movement of the poles, most of us have viewed a map of the world with entirely different eyes, and it ...

For most people, continents are Earth’s seven main large landmasses. But geoscientists have a different take on this. They look at the type of rock a feature is made of, rather than how much of its ...

Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, most of the remnants of a 2 million square foot lost continent known as Zealandia have fascinated scientists since 2017. Now, researchers from GNS Science in New ...
