Scientists have finally found a continent that was once part of the
ancient Gondwana land. The continent called Zealandia-Te Riu-a-Maui in the
Maori language is believed to be approximately 94 per cent under the sea, while
the remaining 6 per cent make up New Zealand and surrounding islands. An
international team of geologists and seismologists published a refined map of
Zealandia in journal Tectonics. They were able to presume its form and
structure by using the data obtained from dredged rock samples recovered from
the ocean floor.
