Learn about Pangaea, Earth's most recent supercontinent, its formation, breakup, and the role it played in shaping our planet's geological history.
So, if the Indian Ocean opens in the future, and the Pacific and the Atlantic close, all seven continents will become one big Aurica around the equator. Finally, the “Amasia” (a portmanteau from “Americas” and “Asia”) theory speculates that the Atlantic and Pacific will remain ...
Predicting futurepCO2in ~250 Myr is challenging. The geologic record has shown large swings inpCO2(ref.26) over the past 3.5 billion years. However, there is an apparent cool–warm in-phase relationship (for example, the Rodinia and Gondwana supercontinents) as part of the natural cycle (~...
Researchers at Curtin University in Australia and Peking University in China used a supercomputer to model the evolution of Earth’s tectonic plates (地质构造板块) and the formation of a future supercontinent. Their findings were published in the journal National science Review. ...
However, the relative importance of these two forces is unclear. Here we model the supercontinent breakup coupled with global mantle convection in order to address this question. Our global model features a spherical harmonic degree-2 ... N Zhang,Z Dang,C Huang,... - 《Geoscience Frontiers》...
