Among those who believe Atlantis existed, scientists have proposed different theories. All agree that at catastrophic event destroyed Atlantis. It is not "wiped off the Earth", but wiped away from what we can see to map. Scientists generally believe that action of tectonic plates causes Atlantis to be overwhelmed with water and with landmass dropping because of plate shifting, all signs of the civilization "sank" underwater. Explorers have found remnants of buildings and pottery on the ocean floor that they believe was once Atlantis.
