Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, most of the remnants of a 2 million square mile lost continent known as Zealandia have fascinated scientists since 2017. Now, researchers from GNS Science in New ...

EVER since Wegener published in 1915 his remarkable theory of the drift of the continents and the movement of the poles, most of us have viewed a map of the world with entirely different eyes, and it ...

A hidden “tear” beneath the continents may have been fueling oceanic volcanoes for millions of years, study reveals.

Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, most of the remnants of a 2 million square foot lost continent known as Zealandia have fascinated scientists since 2017. Now, researchers from GNS Science in New ...

About 3,500 feet under the south Pacific sits a piece of land 2 million square miles in size — about half as big as Australia. But scientists can't agree on whether this submerged land mass, called ...

What is a continent when over 94 percent of it is under the water? Zealandia is an extensive belt of continental crust around ...

The geological staying power of continents comes partly from their losing battle with the Earth's oceans over magnesium. Continents lose more than 20 percent of their initial mass to chemical ...

For most people, continents are Earth’s seven main large landmasses. But geoscientists have a different take on this. They look at the type of rock a feature is made of, rather than how much of its ...

An illustration provided to Reuters February 18, 2017 shows what geologists are calling Zealandia (C), a continent two-thirds the size of Australia lurking beneath the waves in the southwest Pacific.
