The western half of Zealandia then along with Australia formed the Australian Plate (40 Ma). In response to this, a new plate boundary was created within Zealandia between the Australian Plate and Pacific Plate. This led to the formation of a subduction arc with active volcanism forming islands north and west of present New Zealand. [27]

The world was shook earlier this year when researchers revealed Zealandia - a sunken continent long lost beneath the ocean. Scientists reveal secrets from the ‘lost continent’ of Zealandia ...
Most of the islands lie near the southeast edge of the largely submerged continent centred on New Zealand called Zealandia, which was riven from Australia 60–85 million years ago, and from Antarctica 85–130 million years ago.
As it stood the issue of Zealandia's geology is mixed with geopolitical and biology matters, some of which currently are not as high quality as the geology. The issue has caused category indexing issues at a minimum. While these still exist for many islands of the Pacific they should not exist for a continent.
SS Zealandia, nicknamed "Z" (or "Zed"), was an Australian cargo and passenger steamship. She served as a troopship in both World War I and World War II.
