@lemmy.worldI think the reason Zealandia is called a "submerged continent" is because it is made of continental crust rather than oceanic crust.
But IMO the best geologic definition of continents is by tectonic plates, which mostly matches up with the cultural definitions of the continents.
For the major continents, we have these plates:
There are several smaller plates too, like the Caribbean, Indian, and Arabian plates. IMO, we should consider these independent continents.
There is also a dedicated Pacific plate. The ring of fire is the border of this plate.
New Zealand / Zealandia is on the ring of fire. Half on the Australian plate, half on the Pacific plate. You can actually see the border of the two plates when you look at the topographical map of Zealandia.
I'm not sure there is anything illegal about making up these stories.
Edit: All these down votes are just wishful thinking. JD Vance is a piece of shit, but he hasn't done anything illegal. (That's not to say he hasn't done anything wrong, because he totally has.)
There's JD Vance.
There's Ron DeSantis.
There's Jim Jordan.
There's Matt Gaetz.
There are plenty of MAGA republicans in Congress who would step up. To say otherwise is to be living under a rock. Trump is far from the only prominent fascist ass hole in US politics.
Assassination would be good for MAGA. They'd worship him as a martyr.
I'd like Trump to die ASAP. From natural causes, like a heart attack from eating too much McD's.
You're using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn't support the war.
What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?
Nothing? It's literally the primary source.
Did NYT support the war? Let's look at the opinion pieces they published about the war.
In other words "old baby got tired after standing out of his crib for two hours, blames mom and dad."
Trump: incoherent rambling about immigrants stealing then eating pets and Democrat governors aborting newborns
Kamala: "He lost the election, and he's clearly having a hard time processing that."
