RE: Introducing The Eight Continent On Earth: A New Continent Called Zealandia!

in #geography8 years ago (edited)

Very interesting! Pretty small for a continent, always associated that with a larger land mass. though perhaps it is large (1.8 MSqMi) just mostly submerged yeah, just seems small. Do you know off hand what the areas of the other continents are?

Sort:  

In fact this is the first time we have the area of a continent spelled out like this because it is so small! And you are correct in that continents were never measured in SqMi in the past, but I guess there will be an exception, like in this case, which is telling of its small size.

But sorry, I have no clue about the size of the others!
