Earth’s continents are not fixed in place. They drift, collide, and break apart over hundreds of millions of years, and new research suggests the next great reunion could create conditions so extreme ...

Geoscientists say Earth will be home to one massive supercontinent about 200 million years from now; there are four prominent versions of this mega-continent. The climate might be surprisingly balmy ...

Pangaea was a massive supercontinent that formed between 320 million and 195 million years ago. At that time, Earth didn't have seven continents, but instead one giant one surrounded by a single ocean ...

Scientists at the University of Bristol have used supercomputer climate models to predict the formation of a future supercontinent called Pangea Ultima, which is expected to occur 250 million years ...

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 same geologic forces that stitched the supercontinent Pangea together also helped form the ancient coal beds that powered the Industrial Revolution, report researchers. The consolidation of the ...

Recently, my team reported unprecedented evidence of a continental connection between the ancient landmasses Laurentia (North America) and Iberia (the northern margin of Gondwana) in the Late ...
