Scientists predict a new supercontinent may form in 200-300 million years. The supercontinent, named Amasia, may arise from the closing Pacific Ocean. Australia is expected to collide with Asia ...

According to scientists, that slow-motion drift will one day result in the total closure of the Pacific Basin and the birth ...

In 200 to 300 million years, Earth’s continents will merge into a massive supercontinent named Amasia, researchers have found. A study from Curtin University, published in the National Science ...

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 ...

humans have been developing an understanding of where this continental drift could lead: We are all moving towards a supercontinent that unites almost all the planet’s land masses. But what would life ...

But one of the proposed supercontinents, Amasia, would sit at a far higher—and thereby cooler—latitude. “If the supercontinent that straddles the north pole happens, then mammals probably ...

The result conjures a vision of a sun-scorched supercontinent, inhospitable to mammalian life – even for those critters that burrow or shelter in caves. One interpretation of Amasia is another ...

But geologists have long debated what the next supercontinent could actually look like. One theory, known as “Amasia,” is pretty much what it sounds like: The Americas will drift westward ...

Using the past to predict the future and understanding the mechanics of the mantle, Mitchell presents his vision of Amasia — the next supercontinent (SN: 1/21/17, p. 18). Some researchers have ...
