Lost Continent

A "Lost Continent" refers to a landmass that once existed but has disappeared beneath the ocean or earth over time, often leaving behind evidence like submerged structures or fossils. These continents are usually hypothesized based on geological, fossil, or magnetic data, suggesting that ancient landmasses once connected different parts of the world. While some legends, like Atlantis, are mythical, scientific research investigates real ancient continents that have been subducted or sunk due to tectonic activity, shaping our understanding of Earth's dynamic history.
