- Not so deep beneath the waters of the Pacific lies a sunken continent. Is this Earth's 8th continent? Today I investigate these wild claims to see if there's any truth to this.

@@nativeafroeurasian Yep, it's called Zeeland. Literally "Sea Land" :) It's a collection of islands and peninsulas in Western Netherlands, hence the name. New Zealand was first "discovered" by a Dutch explorer named Abel Tasman. He was also the first European to sight Tasmania, and the island is named after him.
@@dedecmds thanks for the deatailled information:)
Diego Cervantes but when u say “discovered”, u just mean he was the first European to arrive there. Maori were there hundreds of years before.
I’ve always liked the idea of counting the landmasses on top of tectonic plates and amassed around a shield. This would make Greenland a continent, but I’m okay with that
Just like astronomers had to introduce a term "dwarf planet" for Pluto and other Kuyper belt objects, the geologists may consider "dwarf continent". Then both Madagascar (and other similar smaller islands) and Zealandia could be treated as "dwarf continent", with Zealandia being the largest of them.

There are currently 7 continents (Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America) but they should really add Zealandia as an 8th. Its been working so hard to get noticed and I think it deserves the title.
so is it...9 or 8 planets and 7 or 8 continents? it seems the more we know, the less we know
9 contnents:
1: N. America
2: S. America
3. Antartica
4. Oceania
5. Africa
6. Europe
7. Asia
8. Zelandia
9. Artic
I've always found the question of how many continents there are really confusing as a kid, because noone could really explain to me what a continent really is (Like why are Europe and Asia considered two different continents, but not North- and Central America?). Now I'm just glad I'm not the only one confused...
I always just assumed anybody claiming Europe and Asia as different continents was full of shit. It is clearly one landmass; the only possible distinction between the European and Asian ‘continents’ which could be made is by the ethnicity of the inhabitants, which is an incredibly arbitrary way to define geography.
I consider sometimes Africa Europe and Asia as one massive continent called
Afro-Eurasia
why though? Africa isn’t apart of Eurasia
@@leejerrett8268 hey it's all one land mass you know why everything's connected because it's one big ass landmass floating and avoid of nothingness with a bunch of water and other s*** on top of it so there's one continent Earth I think they might just be considered separate cuz the vastly different cultures or maybe they're on different plates I don't know we make s*** up about this all the time it's two different continents cuz we say it's two different continents

We don't realize the value of things until they are gone, I legit feel so bad for Zealandia, and I desperately wish to know how life was there during the world's prehistoric era, so to know what kinds of prehistoric life form might of have lived and died over there. And who knows if they also used to have their own now deceased language that must've been spoken over there before we were even born. Not gonna lie but even tho I've never seen or stepped any further portions of Zealandia other than New Zealand(I've never been to New Zealand either😂), it somehow feels nostalgic just thinking about it.
Walking through NZ native forest is cool because it's like walking through Gondwana land forest. It's very old, been separated from the rest of the World for so long and hasn't changed much.

This is outstandingly true.

If you look at a plate tectonic map, you’ll see that the “continent” of Asia, includes land that is on the North America plate. The Arabia plate covers a majority of the Middle East, which is part of the “Continent” of Asia. Europe and most of Asia are on the same continental shelf too. For super-continents, I think that they would be. America, which is composed of North and South America, Afro-Eurasia, which is composed of Africa, Europe, and Asia, Oceania, which includes Australia, New Guinea, The Filipines, and the islands of the Pacific, “Oh yeah and Antarctica”.
Dutch explorer Abel Tasman (1642) named what is now New Zealand "Staten Landt" in honour of the Dutch parliament. By 1657 the islands appear on Dutch maps as Nova Zeelandia, after the Dutch province. Zealandia was the female personification of New Zealand and appears on stamps from 1901 onward. She features on New Zealand's Coat of Arms (1956) and is based on actress Grace Kelly.

Think you'll find n. Ireland, Scotland, wales and even the mancs are staying out of it. After all, they're reoccupying the mainland; and, as Zealandia's occupants will attest, the English are coming- in their homeless droves, post Brexit.
Yes the European Union, which is a mere 26 years old, is indeed the sole reason us poor Britons have a roof over our heads and food on the table. Whatever shall we do without our saviours in Brussels. There are murmurings that this country ruled the world a century ago. But, how can that be, when the EU has only existed for two decades.
Glory be to Brussels my friend.

Happy New Year 2021 Atlas Pro. I kinda stumbled on your channel & find it to be well...more factual, informative than others I've seen on YT. I personally am not "entirely convinced" that Zelandia can "as yet" be considered an 8th Continent. However, in watching this video including some from GNS Science I do have a question if I may? In 2016 NZ suffered from a reasonable earthquake named the Kaikoura Earthquake 2016 . When this 7.8 magnitude earthquake occurred (& what a jolt it was, I live in Wellington NZ), it shifted in & around Kaikoura land including the Kaikoura/Marlborough shoreline. A piece of the seabed itself "rose" exposing unique life forms that "needed" to be underwater to survive. Sadly they died. Is it "possible" that the newly exposed land is in fact part of the Zealandia crust/shelf & given time with unfortunately more earthquakes, will more (of Zelandia?) land be exposed becoming the new face of NZ? For your reference - weather.com/science/space/news/new-zealand-earthquake-exposed-land-kaikoura-coast-esa & www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/local-democracy-reporting/300173458/seabed-raised-by-kaikura-quake-proposed-for-rezoning-as-coastal-land - earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/89206/powerful-earthquake-exposes-new-land-near-kaikoura Or simply Google the above mentioned earhtquake for more information. Would love to know your thoughts cheers.
The east coast of the North Island and upper south Island are gradually being dragged down by the Pacific Plate subducting under the Australian plate. Every now and then there's a rebound and the coast pops back up, as seen in the Kaikoura earthquake and the 1855 Wairarapa quake before it, but the general trend is sinking, at a rate of about 3mm per year.
Actually, Europe and Asia are divided by the Mediterranean, Black & Caspian Seas, the Caucasus Mountains, and the Ural Mountains. There are actually several mountain ranges dotted throughout Eurasia, such as the Caucasus Mountains Ural Mountains, Zagros Mountains, Teon Chong Mountains (sorry, I’m blanking out on the actual spelling because it’s Chinese), and the Himalayas among others. Heck, even Mt. Sini almost divides Asia from Africa (before the Suez Canal was dug of course).

It would be cool to have an 8th continent, but seeing as how most of Zealandia is at a depth of around 2000-3000 metres below sea-level (which is deeper than Australia is tall), even in shallow places getting as close as 500 metres below sea level. I think it would be nigh impossible to raise a meaningful body of land without digging out the volume of a whole other continent to fill it. But who knows, maybe China will build the world's biggest polder or something.
Man, it would be great if you made a video about the geography of Zealandia, like the climate, its flora and fauna, possible civilization and what not. I'd be especially interested in the climate.

Greenland actually has several fault lines that run on the sea floor between it and the Arctic Archipelago. That's why there are ancient mountain ranges on either side of Baffin Bay and Nares Strait. That's why I think it's definitely a continent.

I’ve always considered the name for Australia as a continent to be Oceania because it dismisses lots of the island nations in the Pacific as I think that every island should technically belong to a continent. For example if you go to Japan, you’re in Asia, same with the UK for Europe and Greenland for North America.
Not every island should be in a continent, only ones real close. If it's too far then it's not in any continent. That's why I prefer Australasia.
Japan is in the Asian region but its not in the Asian continent.
Australia is a continent and the islands around it are not. However the islands around it are part of the Australasian region.

I grew up in Zealandia and always had this feeling that New Zealand is part of something much bigger. Now with this revelation of the 8th continent I think it is time for all other continents to submit and bow down to Zealandia and henceforth all should address her as 'Your Grand Aquaticness'.

@@vtron9832 What about the Kerguelen plateau?
The Minion Memer depends on whether it is built around a Craton or shield, otherwise it is most certainly not a continent.
Wow, nice explanation.
Continents are first and foremost a social construct. It's about identity, that is why earope and asia are generally thought of as seperate continents. Most inhabitants of "Zealandia" as well as the rest of the world don't think of it as a continent, more often thought of as part of Australasia (Australia, New Zealand and some of the SE Asian islands).
Me: (Watches video)
Narrator: Oh yeah and Antarctica
Me: (Visible Frustration)
Yep
There's good reason to not put antarctica as a continent either, since its land is actually a bunch of islands surrounded by ice on top of ocean. It's an archipelago, it has more similarities to zeelandia as it was mentioned in the video.
Antarctica is a trouble case too, given that if you take away all the ice there isn't much in the way of a large landmass.
I ALMOST included a side note about that. But I just made a whole video on that, so I figured I'd let it be.
Also, ice is just frozen water, so does that mean that most of Antarctica is underwater? :P
@@TarriPup It's fresh water for the most part. Not sure if that matters.
Most of antarctica is land below ice so it’s a continent
Yeah if antarctica is a continent because it's islands are connected with ice, wouldn't that make America and eurasafrica together a single continent too?
It’s funny that a potential continent is named after a place that not many people know about, with a population of not even half a million
I was taught in a Canadian school that Australia, New Zealand and the area in-between were the continent of Oceania and that calling Australia continent was incorrect. Never heard of Zealandia before. I would agree to 6 continents based on the theory I was taught. Europe and Asia are definitely 1 continent. The divide is much more ethno-cultural than geological.
I’m in Australia and feel like I was also taught the continent is called Oceania and includes the other nearby countries. Maybe it’s just because we wanted the title of largest island lol.
The divide between Europe and Asia is definitely just cultural but I would say Africa is still separate because it's on a different tectonic plate
