Have you ever thought about what lies beneath our feet? I mean, think about it! Here we are, strolling around on what we call “land,” while, unbeknownst to us, entire lost continents could be hiding right under our noses, or in this case, under the Mediterranean Sea. Lo and behold, researchers on a quest to unravel the mysteries of our planet’s tectonic dance have stumbled upon an astonishing find — a hidden continent named Greater Adria! Yep, this bad boy has been lounging beneath Southern Europe for around 140 million years, and it’s as massive as Greenland. Who knew vacations in Italy might be treading over ancient land that could rival the fables of Atlantis? Buckle up as we dive into the fascinating world of geology and tectonics — because discovering the secrets of our planet can be as thrilling as binge-watching your favorite series. Curious to find out how this “lost” continent shaped Europe’s mountains? Oh, you’re gonna want to stick around for this! LEARN MORE.
Lost continents continue to be discovered as the technology to study our ever-shifting tectonic plates grows more advanced.

Researchers have discovered a continent that’s been hidden beneath Southern Europe for around 140 million years. The landmass is as big as Greenland and formed many of Europe’s mountain ranges when it was buried.
According to CNN, a Utrecht University team found it while studying the Mediterranean region’s geology and how it evolved over time. Researching the evolution of mountain ranges allows experts to trace the evolution of continents.
