Scientists discovered that two large continents have disappeared

Scientists found that two Eurasian and Indian continents that once existed 60 million years ago have sunk.

Recent research has been published in Nature Geoscience revealing the findings and changes of tectonic plates.
Scientists at the University of Chicago (USA) have looked into details of the clashes of the Eurasian and Indian continental plates 60 million years ago and still move slowly. It even causes many unusual phenomena and makes Himalayan mountains appear.

Experts take advantage of many data sources to consider the origins of the two continents before colliding with each other.

Researcher Miquela Ingalls, who led the study, considers it a topic to defend his doctoral thesis in geophysics, concluding: "We found half of the two continents ago. 60 million years, disappeared, no longer exist today ".

After examining the possible possibilities that the two continents disappeared, the experts concluded that the vast, lost continent may have drifted back to the Earth's crust, known as the Scale disappearance. great.

This new hypothesis removes phenomena that once riddled with scientists about seeing lead and uranium in volcanic lava.

These elements are found in the Earth's hard shell but rarely found in the outer shell. It is possible that the Earth's surface has absorbed the substance from within, so they are found in magma rocks.

The vast continent lost may have drifted back to the Earth's crust, known as the Large-scale disappearance.(Illustration).

Geophysicist Professor David Rowley - mentor to Miquela Ingalls, also acknowledged the hypothesis and said: "We see a large mass of Earth's crust disappearing from the lake and can only drift into the cover. ".

"We thought that hard shells and sheaths interacted with each other. This hypothesis shows that this is not true."

Applying this hypothesis, we see the Eurasian and Indian continents colliding with each other in Earth's history. The continental parts in the hard crust continue to blend in the cover and reappear in the volcanic lava sprayed up today.
