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 ...

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 ...

For billions of years, the continents have cruised across Earth’s surface like tectonic vessels, but they have not survived unscathed. Waves in the underlying layer known as the mantle can scour ...

Dr. Chuan Huang, the lead author of the new study, said that their findings from the supercomputer simulation could help experts to know what might happen to Earth after the next 200 million years.
