Scientists have officially confirmed the existence of Zealandia, Earth's eighth continent. It covers nearly 5 million square kilometres and is roughly the size of India. However, only a tiny amount of it rises above sea level, forming the islands of New Zealand and New Caledonia.
For a long time geologists have argued whether Zealandia was a true continent, but rock sampling showed that it is made from continental, not oceanic crust. Zealandia began separating from the supercontinent Gondwana 85 million years ago. The stretching of the tectonic plates made the crust thin, so it sunk beneath the ocean.
