The Earth has been covered by giant combinations of continents, called supercontinents, many times in its past, and it will be again one day in the distant future. The next predicted supercontinent, ...

We spend a lot of time thinking about the near-term future. Will AIs start a nuclear war by 2040? Will we live on a hothouse Earth by 2100? But what about the way, way distant future — what will Earth ...

Geologists have pieced together an uncertain part of Earth’s ancient history. A team in Australia has found new evidence that suggests the cycle of supercontinents forming and breaking up only started ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes 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 ...

This year is the 50th anniversary of one of 20th-century science's most important discoveries – the revelation that the land below us is on the move; that the continents we live on are creeping across ...

Several times in earth's history continents have collided to form supercontinents only to later break apart. Geologist Ross Mitchell discusses a new study in Nature that predicts in 50 to 200 million ...

An ancient supercontinent, far older than anything proposed before, has been pieced together by an international team of geologists. The giant landmass, which has been dubbed Columbia, would have ...
