Conventional models of how supercontinents evolve suggest they form on top of the previous supercontinent, known as introversion, or on the opposite side of the world from that supercontinent, known as extroversion. Under these models Amasia would therefore either form where Pangaea once was, with t...
A Pangaea-like supercontinent is forecast to form in 250 million years, but a new model predicts that superplumes rising from hotspots deep in the Earth's mantle will keep South America and Antarctica from re-merging with the other continents. Supercontinents form, break apart, then form again...
And while a map of Pangaea indicates this was likely true, this site about basalt columns around the world make me realize such landscapes can form wherever there is volcanic activity…which also happens to be in a lot of places that have divided over geological time. The black sand across ...
