Geography's Hidden Chapters: The Lost Continents

Did you know that Earth once had "lost continents" that aren’t on modern maps? These were huge landmasses, now mostly submerged under oceans, that played a big role in the planet's history. For example, Zealandia, nearly the size of India, lies mostly underwater near New Zealand, with only its peaks forming the islands we see today. Scientists also discovered ancient continents like Mauritia, which broke off from Madagascar millions of years ago, leaving traces under the Indian Ocean. These lost continents helped shape how animals and plants spread across the globe, connecting areas that are now separated by vast seas.
