Pangea eventually broke up into smaller land masses, which then fragmented further and became our modern-day continents.

   • By about 140 million years ago, van Hinsbergen told Live Science, Greater Adria was likely a string of archipelagos. At that time, Adria probably looked like modern-day Zealandia, the minicontinent that underpins New Zealand's north and south islands. Only 7% of Zealandia is above sea level.

   How deep is greater Adria?

   • Then, between 120 million and 100 million years ago, the jostling of Earth's tectonic plates forced Greater Adria down into the mantle, under what is now Southern Europe. "The deepest portions are now at a 1,500-kilometer (932-mile) depth below Greece," van Hinsbergen said.
