Under the world’s biggest iron ore deposits lies a 1.3 billion-year-old secret.

The Earth as we know it today is the result of billions of years of geological activity, where continents have shifted, ...

One supercontinent, millions of years ago. Using modern geography, I tried to sketch what Pangaea may have looked like—and ...

As a result, by 100 million years ago, the forests of Victoria included an open conifer-dominated forest canopy. The subcanopy beneath was made up of seed ferns and ferns. Flowering plants and ferns ...

Scientists predict a new supercontinent may form in 200-300 million years. The supercontinent, named Amasia, may arise from the closing Pacific Ocean. Australia is expected to collide with Asia ...

That supercontinent could form within the next 250 million years. When a new supercontinent forms, it could be enough to send temperatures rising even more steeply than they already are.

As the next supercontinent forms, the ocean basins will form one massive body of water. This body of water will have low tidal energy, leading to smaller waves and less nutrient mixing.

The supercontinent Gondwana is thought to have formed between 800 and 550 million years ago in Neoproterozoic times. Starting over the present-day location of the South Pole, ...

A recent study published in Nature Geoscience uses supercomputer climate models to examine how a supercontinent, dubbed Pangea Ultima (also called Pangea Proxima), that will form 250 million years ...

The creation of a new “supercontinent” could kill all life on Earth in 250 million years, researchers predicted. Scientists from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, using the ...

The formation of a new “supercontinent” could wipe out humans and all other mammals still alive in 250 million years, researchers have predicted. Using the first-ever supercomputer climate ...
