This new talks about the possible discovery of a new continent called Zealandia, located at New Zeland.
If you are a apassionate traveler you are in luck, as many scientists point out that it has discovered a new continent, but obviosly this land mass has not appeared from nowhere. New Zeland researches suggested that Zealandia fulfills all the criteria needed to become a new continent, but almost entire of Zealandia is underwater. Researchers of the official New Zeland research body said that the 94% of Zealandia is submerged underwater, but this fact doesn't mean that can't exist a continent sunk beneath the sea.
We must identify Zealandia such as a geological continent rather than a set of continental islands represents more correctly the geology of this part of the Earth. A part of Zealandia known as Oceania and Australasia, which would be the country of New Zeland, but researchers want to stress that the new continent only is surrounded by three land masses: New Zeland's North, South Islands and New Calcedonia.
Altheough this must be considered a continent because it has an elevation above the surrounding area, a different geology and a layer thicker than oceanic crust. Since much of Zealandia is submerged continent, scientist can explore the cohesion and breakup of continental crust.
The author of the new, Nick Mortimer, wants to be recognized Zealandia as a continent, and that will appear in maps, schools and evertwhere. The revelation of a new continent is very exciting and hopes that eventually the desire will fulfill.
