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 ...

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 ...

Earth's mass extinctions have come for the dinosaurs and a whopping 95 percent of ocean species. Mammals, like us, may be next — eventually. In intriguing new research published in the science journal ...

Here's a fun fact: According to the United States Geological Survey, every single continent on the planet was once a single, comprehensive landmass known as Pangea. Pangea existed as it did for about ...

For a long stretch of Earth’s history, the continents were not separated by wide oceans. They were joined into a single ...

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 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.

Earth’s continents are currently keeping a safe distance from one another, but what if they did slam together again, Pangaea-style? What if one day the continents joined into one giant landmass again ...

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 ...

Left panel: 240 Ma; middle panel: 80 Ma; right panel: the preindustrial (PI) era. Green shading marks monsoon domains, with the color representing the annual precipitation amount (color bar interval ...
