    Solution

    Geologists recently discovered Argoland, a landmass that detached from modern-day western Australia 155 million years ago. The elusive, 3,106-mile stretch was once an integral part of the supercontinent Gondwana. It disintegrated as tectonic forces stretched the landmass out and drove it away from the rest of the continent before scattering it across Southeast Asia.
