International scientists make refined map of world’s ‘8th continent’ Zealandia submerged in Pacific Ocean. An international team of geologists and seismologists has created a refined map of Zealandia, the submerged continent beneath the Pacific Ocean.

Where will be 8 th continent

Zealandia , the eighth continent, is supposedly around 3500 ft deep inside the southern area of the Pacific Ocean. There has been a lot of debate surrounding it, and whether it should be called a continent or not

Is zealandia is a real continent

Despite being thin and submerged, geologists know that Zealandia is a continentbecause of the kinds of rocks found there. Continental crust tends to be made up of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks – like granite, schist and limestone, while the ocean floor is usually just made of igneous ones such as basalt

Will zealandia ever rise

some parts of Zealandia are expected to rise above others. Tectonic plates are pushing the Southern Alps mountain range even higher. Much of Zealandia will remain submerged.
