Scientists Discovered Continent That Vanished 115 Million Years Ago

About this episode

The episode discusses the discovery of a vanished continent called Greater Adria that disappeared 115 million years ago.

Scientists found evidence of a whole continent that vanished like, ages ago—like, 115 million years ago! It's like something out of a sci-fi flick, right? Apparently, it was this massive landmass, kind of like what we have now with Africa and stuff, but then poof! It just disappeared into thin air, or rather, deep into the ocean. They're calling it "Greater Adria," and it's got geologists buzzing with excitement about Earth's ancient history. Makes you wonder what other secrets this planet's hiding, huh?
