Over the past 2 billion years, Earth's continents have collided together to form a supercontinent every 200 to 600 million years, known as the supercontinent cycle. This means that the current ...

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.

A new study suggests Earth’s next supercontinent could trigger a mass extinction, making most of the land uninhabitable.

Extreme temperatures in future may potentially lead to the first mass extinction on Earth since the dinosaurs, a new study ...

The study claims that Earth's continents are drifting and will one day form a single supercontinent. This will be accompanied ...

Ever since the term “Snowball Earth” was first proposed in a 1992 paper, it has prompted substantial debate among scientists.

It wasn't until 1912 that meteorologist Alfred Wegener hypothesized that Earth's continents had once been joined as a supercontinent that we now call Pangea. Wegener had noticed that the borders ...

The international team of scientists applied climate models, simulating temperature, wind, rain, and humidity trends for the next supercontinent - called Pangea Ultima - expected to form in the ...

The mantle is split up into two domains — the African and the Pacific — that emerged when supercontinent Pangaea broke apart. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The Earth hasn't approached this level of homogeneity, a.k.a. blandness, since all our continents were smashed together as one supercontinent known as Pangaea. That was roughly 300 million years ago.
