Krystal - What defines a continent?

 Today for Inquiry, my class and I were learning about Earth Science. I did an activity, that was about Zealandia. Some scientists believe Zealandia, is the eighth continent. Gondwana was the biggest continent, then it fell apart. Countries spread apart from Gondwana, Australia and the Pacific helped New Zealand be put back into shape. 6% of Zealandia is land, the other 94% of Zealandia is underwater. Here is my activity!
