"Unveiling Zealandia's Hidden Secrets: A Refined Map Emerges from Dredged Rock Samples"

Geologists and seismologists have created a refined map of Zealandia, a submerged continent believed to be 94% under the sea. By studying dredged rock samples and analyzing seismic data, the researchers discovered geologic patterns in West Antarctica that suggest a subduction zone near the Campbell Plateau off the west coast of New Zealand. The findings challenge previous theories and provide insights into the formation of Zealandia. The newly refined map reveals the location of the magmatic arc axis and other major geological features of the continent.
