Jessica Hodge+FollowWait, There’s a Hidden Continent?!Turns out, scientists just confirmed Zealandia—a whole continent that’s been hiding underwater for 375 years! It’s massive (almost 2 million square miles) and was once part of the supercontinent Gondwana. Most of it’s submerged, which is probably why it took so long to find. The wildest part? Locals hinted at its existence centuries ago, but it took until 2017 for geologists to officially recognize it. How did we miss something so huge? Mind blown! #Science #Zealandia #HiddenContinent13341Share
James Brady+FollowThere's a Hidden Continent?!Did you know there’s a whole continent chilling underwater? Zealandia, officially recognized in 2017, is 95% submerged and only peeks out as New Zealand and New Caledonia. It’s the youngest, smallest, and thinnest continent, and its wild tectonic history is still being uncovered. Turns out, we’ve barely scratched the surface (literally) of what’s down there. Makes you wonder what else is hiding under the waves! #Zealandia #HiddenContinent #EarthScience #Science50Share
martinezlaura+FollowWait, There’s a Hidden Continent?!Turns out, your school geography teacher might need an update! Scientists just found a whole new microcontinent chilling under the icy waters between Canada and Greenland. It’s called the Davis Strait proto-microcontinent, and it’s basically a lost chunk of Earth’s crust from millions of years ago. This discovery could totally change how we think about continents and how they form. Who knew the planet was still hiding secrets like this? #ScienceNews #Geology #HiddenContinent #Science262Share
megangibson+FollowEarth’s Secret Continent Found?!Turns out, Earth’s been hiding a whole continent underwater this entire time! Scientists just confirmed Zealandia—a massive landmass nearly twice the size of India—lurking beneath the South Pacific. Only about 5% peeks above water (hello, New Zealand!). It broke off from ancient supercontinents and slowly sank, but new rock and magnetic data finally prove it’s a legit continent. Wild to think there’s still so much of our planet left to discover! #Zealandia #HiddenContinent #EarthScience #Geology #MindBlown #Science18338Share
