Is zealandia a continent

From (Tyler)


To day im here to tell you why zelandia the huge
submerged land area that overtime has sank two thirds of a
mile under the south west pacific ocean 79 million years ago
should not be considered as the 8th continent.


Firstly let's start with the definition of a continent. A continent is one of
Huge land masses covering up a certain area know as a continent. 


Right now in the world there is 7 official continents.
Antarctica Europe asia north america south america and
Australia. But zelandia has never been recognized as a continent
Since it has overtime sunk down into the pacific ocean.


Millions of years ago there was 8th continent
but then zelandia sunk down into the pacific ocean. Since then
there has been only 7 continents. Australia one
of the 7 continents has a land size 7.7 million
Square metres while zelandia only has 4.7 million
square metres, there's also africa with 30.37 million square metres.
And lastly there's asia with 44.58 million square metres.
If you look at zelandia compared to all the other continents land size
There is a huge difference between the other continents.


 The main reason that zelandia is not recognized as a continent is

because it  has sunk. If it would of not sunk then it would be
most likely considered a continent nowadays.
I do think it would of been a official continent have it had not sunk that
is the main reason why it should not be recognized as a continent.


Throughout this piece of writing i have shared with you
3 main points why zelandia should not be a continent.






  
I was learning about zelandia because it was our reading task for this week I found it difficult to find the write sites to teach me about zelandia because the writing was to complex. I enjoyed finding out about all these continents because i've never took the time to research about them Next time i would change my writing because it was a bit to complex

  1. Morena Tyler, I really enjoyed reading your letter and understanding your argument as you backed up your opinion with evidence. Some of the language and ideas in this activity were quite difficult so you did a great job of making sense of it. You may like to consider adding who the letter is to at the beginning and who it is from at the end. Ma te wa, Miss Hickling.
