The continents we live on today are moving, and over hundreds of millions of years they get pulled apart and smashed together again. Occasionally, this tectonic plate-fueled process brings most of 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 models of ...

The formation of a new “supercontinent” has the potential to wipe out humans and all other mammal life in 250 million years, a new study found. In a study of the impacts of climate extremes, ...

This supercontinent formed hundreds of millions of years ago and helps explain why distant places share similar fossils, why ...

Africa is undergoing a gradual geological transformation, with tectonic forces slowly pulling the continent apart. This process, driven by movements along the East African Rift System, is separating ...

Left panel: 240 Ma; middle panel: 80 Ma; right panel: the preindustrial (PI) era. Green shading marks monsoon domains, with the color representing the annual precipitation amount (color bar interval ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan and the Geological Survey of Norway say they have solved a longstanding and controversial puzzle over the position of Pangea, the ancient supercontinent that ...

An international team of geologists believe they have found a hidden continent that could stretch from Greenland to Europe. The team, led by Professor Gillian Foulger, Emeritus Professor of Geophysics ...

The next supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, is likely to get so hot so quickly that mammals cannot adapt, a new supercomputer simulation has forecast. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
