Geologists maintain that we may be quite certain that no such Pacific continent existed. Continental masses are composed of the lighter SiAl (silicon/aluminium) type rocks which literally float on the heavier SiMa (silicon/magnesium) rocks which constitute ocean bottoms. The Pacific basin is noticeably lacking in SiAl rock. (See plate tectonics)
