Zealandia

was learning about Zealandia because we wanted to know what New Zealand was like.
I enjoyed finding out information about Zealandia because I was hoping to find out something like what a continent is.
next time i would change the font because I want the reader to like everything.
Found it challenging to remember the things about continents because when you write about continents there are a lot of things that make a continent a continent.
Is Zealandia a continent?

I wanted to tell you why I think that Zealandia is a continent.

First,  some scientists do believe that there is an 8th continent called Zealandia. Over a million years ago Zealandia sank almost entirely underwater. 

 Secondly, In the depths of the earth there are tectonic plates that make the earth move and that's called an earthquake. But millions of years ago the plates moved so much that Zealandia started to get thinner. Lots of years past and Zealandia went almost entirely underwater but not all of it. 94% of Zealandia is still underneath the water. So that means that 6% of Zealandia is still above the sea.   

Lastly, by researching New Zealand was not always a country by itself. New Zealand was a part of Zealandia and so was New Caledonia. Zealandia must have been a really big country. Zealandia does have some or all of the things that make all of the other continents a continent. It has an oceanic crust around it,also continents have to have Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock, they also have to have a crust that is thicker than oceanic crust but it has to be less dense. So I hope you are convinced that Zealandia is a continent because I am.
