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 ...

The continents we live on today are moving, and over hundreds of millions of years they get pulled apart and smashed together again. Occasionally, this tectonic plate-fueled process brings most of the ...

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 ...

We show you how the world map and countries looked back then. Many millions of years ago, the world looked very different.

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 ...

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 ...

Independent estimates from geology and biology agree on the timing of the breakup of the Pangaea supercontinent into today's continents, scientists have found. Scientists at The Australian National ...

The oceanic crust produced by the Earth today is significantly thinner than crust made 170 million years ago during the time of the supercontinent Pangea, according to researchers. The thinning is ...

Here's the big conundrum with climate change: most countries acknowledge it's happening, but prefer to point the finger at other nations to take the lead. Would it be different if we were all part of ...

The outer layer of the Earth, the solid crust we walk on, is made up of broken pieces, much like the shell of a broken egg. These pieces, the tectontic plates, move around the planet at speeds of a ...

Researchers have found evidence that a part of Australia was once connected to North America, providing further insight to the ancient supercontinent known as Nuna. It may be hard to imagine that a ...

Earth is headed toward unrecognizable changes. According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia and Peking University in China, the world will experience a geological reconfiguration caused ...
