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 #Science30Share
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
