Topic: Lost continents


  
  Lost Lands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lost Lands are islands or continents believed by some to have existed during pre-history, but to have since disappeared as a result of catastrophic geological phenomena.
Such continents are generally thought to have subsided into the sea (an occurrence ruled impossible by current theories of geology), leaving behind only a few traces or legends by which they may be known.
Phantom Islands, as opposed to Lost Lands, are land masses formerly believed by cartographers to exist in the current historical age, but to have been discredited as a result of expanding geographic knowledge.

One of our tasks when designing Lost Continents was to make it as accessible as possible to a first time player, while still being deep enough to keep the experience players coming back.
Being able to spawn a zone specifically for an individual or a single group and customize the zone based on the past achievements of the player is the core to our ability to provide each player with their own storyline where they are the hero.
As an example, in a lost world setting, if you go through all of the episodes and successfully fight back the SKULL incursion, they may eventually give up entirely and you'll have a lost world zone full of dinosaurs and man-eating plants you can hunt.

 : RevolutionSF - Back Lots of the Lost: The Implausibility of the Cliched "Lost World" : Feature
Many lost world stories involve a nice cross-section of dinosaur evolution from the beginning of the Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous, with no explanation as to why, for instance, tyrannosaurs and stegosaurs would be contemporaries, much less contemporaries with saber-tooth cats and humans.
The threat against a lost world might be as massive as mammalian predators, or it may be as meek as grass.
Let's say that our lost world was a cross-section of life in the Cretaceous before it became isolated from the rest of the planet: the plants are mainly flowering plants like today's cottonwoods, dogwoods, and raspberries, with relics similar to the ginkgo or New Zealand's kauri pine throughout the mix.

 Eternal Physical Life - Flood 2:2
This means that land life on the tropical continents would be unaffected by the fact that far to the south and north, the sea ice was expanding and contracting - at least as far as the sea itself was concerned.
Hence a planet with a pair of polar continents would end up far more icy and colder than the same planet with polar oceans, even though all the astronomical conditions were the same in either case.
There could be a polar continent at one pole only and a polar ocean at the other, with the remaining land in the tropics.

One tantalizing possibility, entirely speculative for now, is that if the legendary sunken continent of Atlantis is ever proven to have existed, these structures may have been submerged during the same cataclysm.
Because of the large faults and an underwater volcano nearby, Zelitsky supposes the structures sank because of a dramatic volcanic or seismological event thousands of years ago.

 On the Alleged Influence of Lord Dunsany on Clark Ashton Smith
And almost needless to mention, Smith uses lost continents as backgrounds for about one—fourth to one—third of his later tales.
Dunsany's worlds or lands are "beyond the East" and "at the edge of the world"; they are deliberately vague, but with no pretension of geographical existence, on our globe or any other.
As for Smith's tales not laid on lost continents, they are placed either in real locales or in interplanetary, interstellar, or interdimensional lands that, while imaginary, pretend to exist as definite places.

Scientists (modern Specialists) have ascertained the influence of the tides on the geological distribution of land and water on the planets, and the shifting of the oceans with a corresponding subsidence and rise of continents and new lands.
That the periodical sinking and re-appearance of the mighty continents, now called Atlantis and Lemuria by the modern writers, is no fiction, will be demonstrated in the Section in which all the proofs of the same have been collated together.
Lemuria is an ancient continent now sunk beneath the waters of the Indian Ocean, which, lying to the South of the Asia of to-day, stretched on the one hand eastwards to upper India and Sunda Island, on the other westward as far as Madagascar and Africa."
