Scientists confirm Zealandia, Earth's eighth continent, submerged almost two million square miles, with only 5% above water.

Earth may not have seven continents after all. From the earliest of grades, schoolchildren around the world have memorized ...

Each second of the video represents millions of years, with continents ... and improved simulation software, to develop a highly accurate reconstruction of Earth’s tectonic past.

Earth’s surface tells a complex story, shaped not only by visible forces like tectonics and erosion but also by hidden mantle ...

Involved researchers used a supercomputer simulation to show this giant ... "Over the past two billion years, Earth's continents have collided together to form a supercontinent every 600 million ...

Scientists have confirmed the existence of Zealandia, Earth's eighth continent, largely submerged for over 100 million years. This discovery, covering roughly two-thirds of Australia, challenges ...

Magnetic data played a role in confirming the hidden shape of Zealandia, as the analysis of changes in the Earth's magnetic field recorded in Zealandia's crust helped mark the continent's boundaries.

Dating those sites helped to pinpoint the periods when people would have been moving through those parts of the continent. Finally, the simulation ... year history of Earth's magnetic field ...

Over 25 years ago, researchers discovered that some of these deep Earth reverberations pointed to the existence of two underground “super-continents” hundreds of miles beneath Africa and the ...

To understand the fascinating mechanics of the collision of India with Asia we must first look beneath the Earth's surface. The continents are carried by the Earth's tectonic plates like people on ...

Recent earth science developments suggest that how we count our planet’s largest land masses is less clear than we learned in school. By Matt Kaplan The world is split up into continents ...
