What was the significance of the discovery of continents and oceans for humanity?

The discovery of new continents, seas and oceans was of great importance for humanity. Our planet is now fully explored. There are no more mysterious new lands left in our time. New continents gave us new plants and animals, which we transported to other continents. Potatoes, corn, peppers, tobacco and thousands of other plants have appeared in our country thanks to the discovery of new continents. New seas and oceans gave us new fish, but mostly it was for shipping, not for the food industry.
