Hiding in plain sight: Satellite helps locate lost continent Dutch sailor had written about 375 years ago


Updated Mar 11, 2021 | 19:15 IST
So, now we must get ready to revise our knowledge about the Earth s topography. Not seven, but eight continents sit atop it, nevermind the fact that the newest discovery is 94% under the sea.
Zealandia is the submerged continent that lies next to Australia (Pic courtesy: GNS) 
Key Highlights
Millions of years ago, Gondwana and Laurasia were two land masses formed out of one land mass Pangaea. The now discovered Zealandia formed about 5% of the land mass of Gondwana. Then Gondwana broke up and the fragmented land masses drifted apart with oceans between them.
The Northern hemisphere seemed to have a far larger chunk of the land mass and a Dutch sailor who navigated the oceans without all this tectonic shifts theory knowledge thought that the Southern hemisphere ought to have another continent apart from Australia. ....

Abstract
A 4.9 Mkm
2 region of the southwest Pacific Ocean is made up of continental crust. The region has elevated bathymetry relative to surrounding oceanic crust, diverse and silica-rich rocks, and relatively thick and low-velocity crustal structure. Its isolation from Australia and large area support its definition as a continent Zealandia. Zealandia was formerly part of Gondwana. Today it is 94% submerged, mainly as a result of widespread Late Cretaceous crustal thinning preceding supercontinent breakup and consequent isostatic balance. The identification of Zealandia as a geological cont ....
