Are there still any undiscovered areas on the Earth?

Answer 1

Undiscovered, NO.
Unexplored, YES.

Answer 2

Undiscovered Lands

Answer 3

I'll assume you're literally talking about the Earth as a whole, and not just on land.

As far as land goes, there is 0% undiscovered land left on the Earth. Every single island/land mass/area has been discovered. Even the deep oceans are completely discovered. We know pretty much what is where, even if we haven't actually been there. Caves are kind of a tricky factor to look at. You could say they are undiscovered, and it is 100% likely that there are numerous caves that people have yet to discover. But since every landmass and area is discovered, you could say no in that the area they are in is discovered. So, to answer the question of whether or not there are any undiscovered areas left on Earth, the answer is essentially no.

However, there are still many many unexplored areas on the Earth, even if they have already been discovered. Our current technology makes it nearly impossible to explore within the deep areas of the oceans. Much of the bottom of the world's oceans are unexplored and unmapped. What's interesting to note though, is that the deepest area in all of the oceans (the Marianas Trench at 10,923 meters) is actually completely explored and surveyed. Exploring the entire ocean floor, however, would cost probably in the billions dollars and take many many years to complete, which is why they say that we know more about the Moon than we do about the ocean floor. Besides that, the only major areas I can think of that could be considered left unexplored are caves, as I said earlier. It is much easier to explore caves, but there of course is the almost 100% possibility that thousands of caves still have yet to be discovered.

So to sum it up.. undiscovered no(with possible exception of caves), unexplored definitely.

Answer 4

Undiscovered area of Earth. Well depends on your definition of earth and discovered.

I see earth not just as land and water.
But it is also the biodeveresity, fossils, and everything that makes our planet "Earth" Great!

Discovered: definition could be? found by humans? or found by scientists? or common knowledge? ouch a grey line!

Ok so here is some thoughts of mine:

Lots of things are undiscovered. Most "discovered" items remain undiscovered to average person.

I know a lot of people mentioned deep ocean. Which is very true! But also a recent scientific expedition wanted to check the area of the ocean previously thought to be a void with very little biodiversity. They checked in the area between deep ocean and the ocean surface. What they found "Blew all the Scientists out of the Water". More life and more variations existing in an ocean layer previously thought to be virtualy lifeless. Cool !!

Also I think fossils and geostrata layers.

Fossils can tell us much about the past and perhaps future of Earth. These can be on land but much more exists underwater all of which are a wealth of info.

other areas include the gravity, magnetic poles (which move and strength changes -changes in the poles pull has been documented by british sailors for over 500+ years), microbiology, earths core and inner substrates, techtonics, the sub-atomic level, etc....

Last but never least...

Answer 5

Antarctica without a doubt. Who knows what is under all that ice. There are lakes under them that are liquid and not frozen, in a place like that, who knows what might be found? My next place to look for such places would be South America, all these inaccessible places in the rain forests still full of magic and tons of new animal species and plants that seem to have ceased to exist in the rest of the world for the most part. Any place large and hard to access much of it has a chance of spots that still have not been seen by modern man. Satellites have probably viewed all or most of the surface of the earth by now, giving us pictures. I don't think the satellites can take pics inside caves and through very thick vegetation covering the view close of the land. But these days who knows. But I'd bet money that there are spots that humans physically have not been to see w/ our own eyes. And as caves and all and other things under the surface of the earth are easily hidden, I'm sure there are sill plenty of those not discovered yet.

Answer 7

Well, maybe yes. Because the Earth is a big place and some people only visit places where it is discovered. In that discovered places they find undiscovered places. People dont actually travel Earth to find undiscovered islands or places.

Answer 8

Well we know the basis of what is there. For example in the Amazon we know it is a rain forest. But in some parts do we know certain species of insects/animals/plants that live in the area or if there is a small mountain in certain places? No. Most remote places where humans know what is there like the Antarctic go unexplored. Although this doesn't mean these places are undiscovered. We know the base features of our entire earth. A hundred years ago there where blank spots on maps everywhere. Look at a modern map. Are there any blank spots? No.
So in conclusion we know what type of land is where but in many places we don't know certain other physical features and what life lives there.

Answer 9

Endulge me a minute if you will. I think that there are large areas that have not been discovered. The reason I say this is because everyday new forms of life are found. Call me a nut but I have a theory...
I believe that God created the animals, etc. That being said I do not believe He would allow his creations to become extinct. I believe or rather hope that all the animals we think are extinct are really in hiding, in a safe place untouched by human hands. So my answer is yes I believe there is a large amount of the earth that has not been discovered.

Answer 10

Yeah. Benneath the earth, deep inside its core. In the water, under the ocean/seas, Scientist are yet to discover marines animals that occupy the bottom-less pit of the ocean.
