Earth’s continents are not fixed in place. They drift, collide, and break apart over hundreds of millions of years, and new ...

The cast of NBC’s La Brea (streaming now on Peacock) inadvertently got pulled into an ancient world totally unlike our own when they fell through a time traveling sinkhole and into the past. For ...

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 ...

For a long stretch of Earth’s history, the continents were not separated by wide oceans. They were joined into a single landmass known as Pangaea. It formed slowly, through collisions that took place ...

The continents as we know them resulted when the proto­continent Pangaea broke apart and its fragments made the long slow journey to their present positions. The process took about 200 m­illion years.

All mammals on Earth could be wiped out in 250 million years due to a volcanic supercontinent named Pangea Ultima, according to a new study. The study, published in Nature Geoscience, predicts that in ...

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 ...
