Scientists discover 8th continent

Scientists discovered a massive landmass that's 94% submerged under the Pacific Ocean. (You'd think that wouldn't qualify it as "land," but nothing makes sense!) You've likely heard of a tiny portion of the possible continent: New Zealand and New Caledonia, the six percent that isn't submerged in the depths. However, according to BBC, Zealandia is a whopping 1.9 million square miles.

Scientists are currently pushing for Zealandia to be officially recognized as a continent, due to its meeting important criteria that apparently doens't include being above water: elevation above the surrounding area, distinctive geology, a well-defined area, and a crust thicker than the regular ocean floor, according to BBC.

Well since it is mostly underwater (i.e. "in" the water) does that make it an incontinent and is that the original of the word?
huh? huh? huh? could be!
