Zealandia Earth's Newest Continent Notebook

In 2017, a team of eleven geologists concluded that Zealandia was a continent in its own right, rather than being a microcontinent or continental fragment. It is an almost entirely submerged mass of continent crust which had met the definition of continent (elevation above the surrounding area, distinctive geology, a crust thicker than the ocean floor), with New Zealand's North and South Islands and New Caledonia rising above the Pacific Ocean. Although there is no formal scientific body recognizing Zealandia as a continent, continental fans all around the world will enjoy acknowledging "Zealandia Earth's Newest Continent". Classic scientific attitude notebook for any fan of geology, plate tectonics, or earth science!
