A new study, published in the journal Gondwana Research, posts that we actually only have six continents, and not seven.
The paper’s lead author Dr Jordan Phethean, of the University of Derby, explained to Earth.com that his team’s findings indicate that “the North America and Eurasian tectonic plates have not yet actually broken apart, as is traditionally thought to have happened 52 million years ago.”
This research follows Phethean’s earlier discovery of a hidden “proto-microcontinent” nestled between Canada and Greenland.
