Izincwadi ze-Geology kungenzeka zengeze izwekazi elisha maduzane: I-Zealand. Njengoba inendawo engamakhilomitha ayizigidi ezingama-4,9, icishe icwile ngokuphelele emanzini oLwandlekazi iPacific, kuze kube seqophelweni lokuthi izingxenye zayo ezibonakalayo yiNew Zealand neNew Caledonia.
Isanda kutholwa ososayensi abavela esikhungweni saseNew Zealand i-GNS Science, abebephenya ukuthi kungenzeka kube khona leli zwekazi eminyakeni engama-20 eyedlule.. Manje, ngemininingwane eqoqwe izinzwa ezingaphansi kwamanzi, bakwazile ukuthola indawo ehlangabezana nezimo ezidingekayo zokuhlukaniswa njengezwekazi.
Ungacabanga ukuthi ukuba cishe ne-95% yensimu yayo ngaphansi kwamanzi kunganele ukungayihlukanisi njengezwekazi, kepha iqiniso ukuthi ngokuba nendawo echazwe kahle, uqweqwe olujiyile kunendawo yasolwandle nangokuphakama kunendawo eyizungezile, bayiholele esigabeni sezwekazi, ngokocwaningo olushicilelwe ephephabhukwini leGeological Society of America (GSA).
Isazi sokuma komhlaba nomholi wezocwaningo uNick Mortimer uthe lokhu okutholakele kuzosebenza hhayi kuphela ekwengezeni ezincwadini zesayensi, kepha nasemandleni »hlola ubumbano nokwahlakazeka koqweqwe lwamazwekazi"Njengoba" liyizwekazi elihle nelincane kunazo zonke ezake zatholakala ", naphezu kokucwiliswa, elingakahlukaniswa.

UMortimer nethimba lakhe banethemba lokuthi i-Zealand izokwaziwa ngumphakathi wezesayensi futhi ivele ebalazweni lomhlaba. Akumangalisi ukuthi kuyinsimu okuthi, yize icishe ibe ngaphansi kwamanzi ngokuphelele, ngokusho kwedatha esethwe kuma-satellite kanye nosesho locwaningo olusetshenziselwe ukuyithola, liyizwekazi. Kepha ngalokho kuzodingeka balinde abanye abacwaningi ukuthi bakusho ezifundweni zabo.
