We were taught at school that there were nine planets, but now there are eight (scientists said Pluto is not a planet). Now we may have to change our thinking about how many continents there are. We are taught there are seven continents - Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. Geologists (people who study the land and the earth) now say there is an eighth continent - Zealandia. This is a huge, largely underwater landmass in the southern Pacific Ocean. Six per cent of this landmass is above water and is what we know as New Zealand and New Caledonia. Around 94 per cent of it is under the ocean. In total, it measures five million square kilometres, which scientists say is big enough to be a continent.

Geologists explained why they think Zealandia is a continent. They wrote a research paper and published it in the Geological Society of America's Journal. They argue that the land does not have to be above water for it to be a continent. They said four different points make Zealandia a continent. It is a lot higher than the surrounding area, it has a unique geology, it is easy to find the shape of the continent, and it is a lot thicker than the ocean floor. Nick Mortimer, a geologist at GNS Science in New Zealand, said it would be easy to understand that Zealandia is a continent, "if you could pull the plug on the world's oceans" and let the water out. However, it may take some time before scientists agree that there are eight continents.

我们在学校时经常被教导地球上有九大行星,但是现在证实只有八颗(科学家表示冥王星并不是行星)RsVz13fk8f。现在,关于地球上有多少个大陆,或许我们也要改变想法了w1j=AnV7dGA=rZL。我们一直被告知地球上有七大陆:亚洲大陆,非洲大陆,北美大陆,南美大陆,南极大陆,欧洲大陆和澳大利亚大陆UojFV(wNHE*aDSAuEM,。研究陆地和地球的地质学家现在表示,地球上存在第八大陆——齐兰迪亚,jHQxgXyfW。这是位于南太平洋的一块巨大的水下大陆C1nMrm(Qd-eV09tAI+08。6%的陆地位于水面以上,就是我们知道的新西兰和新喀里多尼亚3Yx(6xblR!oqcp8。94%的面积位于海面以下#Uglmx@ZP_q_vWx,%x。这块大陆总面积为500万平方千米,科学家称,这个面积足以构成一块大陆&bryF(WH=Z*QzPKYd,
