The continent of Zealandia is made up of everything from the North and South Islands of today’s New Zealand to the Hawaiian Islands, Ball’s Pyramid or New Caledonia. That is, this new continent is made up of fragments.
The eighth continent has been discovered. It’s called Zealandia. After Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America, Australia and Antarctica, a team of geoscientists has discovered the world’s eighth continent. Spread over 18.9 lakh sq km, 94 per cent of the continent is under the sea. About 6% of New Zealand is made up of islands. The continent of Zealandia is made up of everything from the North and South Islands of today’s New Zealand to the Hawaiian Islands, Ball’s Pyramid or New Caledonia.

How did you find Zelandia?
It was first discovered in 1642 by a Dutch navigator named Abel Tasman. But he couldn’t find the right place. Tasman found a continent, but it was Australia. The search did not stop. Then many geologists made a different discovery. After that, scientists discovered the continent of Zealandia in 2017. After nearly 375 years of searching, scientists have finally found success.

Geologists claim that this new continent contains a huge amount of fossil fuels. And its quantity is so high that it can meet the energy needs of other continents in the future.
The map was created by geologists.
A few days ago, an international team of geologists published a map of Zealandia in the journal Tectonics. Scientists have discovered this continent by studying rock samples from the seabed. According to scientists, this continent was part of a supercontinent called Gondwana. Zealandia separated from Gondwana about 105 million years ago. Scientists say that 55 million years ago this continent was part of a continent called Gondwana. About 130 million years ago, Australia and Zealandia separated from Antarctica. Australia and Zealandia were still connected. Australia finally separated from Zealandia about 60-8 million years ago. And then Zealandia began to sink to the bottom of the sea. Then the geologists found the continent hidden under the sea.
