A new study has condensed 1.8 billion years of Earth’s tectonic plate movements into a mesmerizing two-minute video. Led by Dr. Xianzhi Cao of the Ocean University of China, this animation ...

Geologists from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a breakthrough in understanding how Earth's early continents ...

A supercomputer simulation shows that the world's next supercontinent, Amasia, will most likely form when the Pacific Ocean closes in 200 to 300 million years.

Supercomputer simulations predicted the climatic consequences of Earth's potential supercontinent formation, which could pose a threat to human survival. News Today's news ...

Researchers mapped a pulsing mantle plume under Afar that channels molten rock upward, stretching Africa’s crust until it ...

A supercomputer simulation has provided new evidence that continent-sized chunks of Theia, which helped create the moon, may still survive in the boundary between our planet's mantle and the core.

A Simulation Says Earth Will Turn Into One Giant, Human-Killing Supercontinent And it knows exactly when it’s going to happen. By Tim Newcomb Published: May 10, 2024 10:14 AM EDT ...

It's a creeping movement, but a momentous one. Some 200 million years ago, a single, extraordinary supercontinent called Pangea dominated Earth. Ultimately, landmasses ruptured and pulled apart ...

Scientists have confirmed the existence of Zealandia, Earth's eighth continent, largely submerged for over 100 million years. This discovery, covering roughly two-thirds of Australia, challenges ...

Scientists have discovered that Venus' vast plateaus, known as tesserae, may have formed through processes similar to those that created the Earth's earliest continents billions of years ago.

Recent earth science developments suggest that how we count our planet’s largest land masses is less clear than we learned in school. By Matt Kaplan The world is split up into continents, there ...
