Experts Identify a Sunken Eighth Continent

We’re taught many things about the world in school, from geography to science and math. Then we continue on with our lives without thinking much about any of it. But scientists continue discovering things that jostle what we once learned, and suddenly our school-day knowledge about the world is outdated. For instance, you likely learned in school that Earth’s land masses form seven continents — North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia/Oceania, and Antarctica. Yet scientists have recently confirmed an eighth continent, one that is 94 percent submerged. The only land above the ocean’s surface makes up New Zealand and a few other nearby islands. <a href="https://katrinapaulson.medium.com/experts-identify-a-sunken-eighth-continent-0fc2ea46a2de">Website</a>
