The main reason to go is in the air and fossicking in the undergrowth, however. More than 18 species of endangered birds were reintroduced to Zealandia when the pest eradication project and fence were completed – some of which have not been seen on the main islands of New Zealand for more than 100 years.

New Continent Zealandia Is Discovered Underwater

... “Its isolation from Australia and large area support its definition as a continent—Zealandia,” wrote researchers from universities in Caledonia, Australia and New Zealand. “The identification of Zealandia as a geological continent, rather than a collection of continental islands, fragments, and slices, more correctly represents the geology of this part of Earth . [and] provides a fresh context in which to investigate processes of continental rifting, thinning, and breakup,” the authors wrote. Scientists have postulated for more than a decade that New Zealand and outlying islands comprise a separate continent, or microcontinent. But information demonstrating that Zealandia is a distinctly separate and contiguous mass merits its elevation to the status of continent, they’ve concluded. Researchers say Zealandia is part of an enormous ancient super-continent — Gondwana or ...

Zealandia Is Het Zevende Continent Op De Aarde

... en ligt verder duidelijk los van het naastgelegen continent. Het stuk land moet een aanzienlijk stuk hoger liggen dan de omliggende oceaankorst: eveneens check. Ondanks dat een groot deel onder water ligt, is het nog altijd wel een stuk hoger gepositioneerd dan de oceaankorst. Het continent Zealandia is direct uniek. Er namelijk geen ander continent op de aarde dat voor zo’n groot deel met water is bedekt. Verder zou het ook het jongste continent zijn dat onze wereld kent. Het zou zich namelijk als laatste hebben afgescheiden van Gondwana. In een ver verleden – zo’n 220 miljoen jaar terug tijdens de Triassic – kende de wereld slechts twee megacontinenten. Het noordelijke Laurisia en het zuidelijke Gondwana. Gondwana – dat destijds lag op de plek waar nu ongeveer Antartica zich bevindt – bestond uit India, Australië, Antarctica, Afrika, Zuid-Amerika en Nieuw-Zeeland. Ongeveer 160 miljoen jaar geleden (ten tijde van de Jura) begon het continent uiteen te vallen. Nieuw-Zeeland was toen het laatste deel dat van Antartica afbrak. Met Zealandia hopen wetenschappers meer inzicht te krijgen over het ...

Nun legte ein vor allem neuseeländisches Forscherteam mit australischer Beteiligung in "GSA Today", einem Fachblatt der Geological Society of America, weitere Belege vor, dass die 4,9 Millionen Quadratkilometer große Fläche Zealandias tatsächlich zum achten Kontinent nach Afrika, Asien, der Antarktis, Australien, Europa, Nordamerika und Südamerika erklärt werden sollte. Drei erfüllte Kriterien. Die elf Autoren der Studie erklären, dass Neuseeland und Neukaledonien nicht nur einfache Inselketten sind.

Image credit: Nick Mortimer et al, doi: __link__/GSATG 321 A.1. Most people view the continents and oceans as discrete entities of land and water across Earth’s surface. However, even a cursory look at our world establishes the problem. Are North America and South America truly separate continents with their connection through the Isthmus of Panama? Where and why does one distinguish Europe, Africa, and Asia considering the Bosphorus and Sinai Peninsula. One might suggest a geological reason: continents are large, identifiable areas underlain by continental crust. A new paper by GNS Science geologist Dr. Nick Mortimer and co-authors follows this idea, but then throws a fascinating twist on the subject: Zealandia. “Several islands, notably New Zealand and New Caledonia , are connected by submerged continental ...

Es Zealandia El Séptimo Continente

... con Plutón que fue desterrado de la lista de planetas por la Unión Astronómica Internacional, no existe una entidad científica que reconozca formalmente a los continentes. "El hecho de que un continente pueda estar tan sumergido a la vez que no está fragmentado" es muy útil "para explorar la cohesión y la fragmentación de la corteza continental". ¿Cuándo ingresará entonces Zealandia al club de los continentes. A diferencia de lo que ocurrió con Plutón, donde su expulsión de la lista de planetas debía ser aprobada por la Unión Astronómica Internacional (UAI), no existe una entidad científica que reconozca formalmente a los continentes. Así que este cambio dependerá de que otros estudios en el futuro ratifiquen esta teoría y, eventualmente, el nuevo continente ingrese en la cultura popular, los mapas y los libros de ...

Earth Apparently Has 8 Continents Now, Because Everything You Know Is A Lie

... the idea of Zealandia was proposed in 1995 and requirements one through three had been checked off, only now with this new study has there been enough evidence to support that it is in fact a continent. Using recent and extremely detailed satellite-based elevation and gravity maps of the ancient seafloor, the researchers of the new study were able to show that Zealandia is indeed part of a unified region that is large enough to be considered a continent. It’s actually 1.89 million square miles, which is about the size of greater India. But wait, some of that is underwater? Yes, but it’s still part of the unified mass. And there are other large unified masses, right? Yes, but they don’t (as of today’s research) meet the other three requirements as well. Zealandia simply doesn’t fit our idea of what a continent looks like because it’s been thinned, stretched and submerged by plate tectonics for millions of years, according to rock samples and ...

Benua Baru Ditemukan Di Timur Australia, Namanya Zealandia

... laut. Hanya Selandia Baru, Kaledonia Baru, dan pulau-pulau kecil di sekitarnya yang ada di permukaan. Zealandia sebagai benua bukan gagasan baru. Geolog Bruce Luyendyk pada tahun 1995 pernah mencetuskannya. Namun, saat itu Zealandia baru memenuhi tiga syarat untuk dinyatakan benua, yaitu mempunyai keragaman batuan, relatif cukup tinggi terhadap dasar laut, dan mempunyai kerak dengan densitas lebih rendah dibanding lautan sekitarnya. Penelitian terbaru dengan metode pemetaan gravitasi dan satelit memberi penguat. Geolog Selandia Baru, Nick Mortimer, dan timnya menyatakan, Zealandia mempunyai luas yang cukup besar untuk dinyatakan sebagai benua.
