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 ...

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 ...

The two halves of the African continent are moving apart at a rate of a few millimeters each year, geologists have calculated ...

After hundreds of years of speculation, scientists say they’ve finally mapped out Earth’s “lost” eighth continent, Zealandia. In a new study published in the journal Tectonics, researchers announced ...

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 ...

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 ...
