There is a common understanding that there are seven continents in the world, but in fact there are eight continents. The name of the eighth continent is Zelandia. The first claim about the eighth volume was made by the 19th Dutch researcher Abel Tasman. A similar claim has been made in the US Geological Survey.
The U.S. Geological Survey found that the continent of Zealand was as large as the continent of Australia, but over time it sank into the ocean. The tectonic plates of this continent were identified by collecting data based on satellite images. When the continent and the water were analyzed separately from the special technology, the researchers found that the Zelandia continent is very large.
At one time the Gondwana Mahakhand existed. At that time, the Americas, Australia, Antarctica and Africa were connected to the Indian subcontinent. I.e. their plates were one, these plates separated due to periodic geological movements and new continents were created. Scientists called it Gondwana. Five percent of the land was in Zealand.
The United States conducted the research six years after the first lawsuit was filed. Earlier, a US team led by 19th geologist Bruce Luendak conducted the study.
