Modern people think that the planet on which he lives, studied far and wide. But he never thought that the Earth can still surprise us. And the discovery that we want to tell you, is proof of this.
How do we know continents?
Only 7. Or 6, if we talk about the unification of Asia and Europe in Eurasia.
But recently, a group of 11 experienced geologists came to the conclusion that on Earth there is another continent, the existence of which no one had thought of.
It is located under water, and his name is Zealand. A familiar name, isn't it?
The name of the new continent really is derived from the name of the state of New Zealand, which is located in the southwest Pacific ocean on two large Islands: the North and South. Top New Zealand looks like two earth cut, on all sides surrounded by water.
But analysis of the topography of the earth's crust showed that the New Zealand and French New Caledonia islandis located on a separate tectonic plate, and, therefore, can be considered another continent.
It is unclear when the list of known continents will be amended. However, in the opinion of a respected Geophysics, University of California, Santa Barbara Bruce Luandia, for good reason.
