Most scientists believe that the supercontinent cycle is largely driven by circulation dynamics in the mantle, according to a 2010 article in the Journal of Geodynamics. Beyond that, the details ...

known as the supercontinent cycle. This means that the current continents are due to come together again in a couple of hundred of million years' time. The international team of scientists led by ...

This process of landmasses coming together and spreading apart is now known as the supercontinent cycle.

Most of the world's landmasses came together to create the supercontinent of Gondwana, which included the continents of Africa, South America, Antarctica, and Australia. Gondwana drifted south ...

Two stunning animations show how planet Earth could change to form one huge supercontinent made up of the majority of land mass seen in the world today. Around 200 million years ago, it's said the ...

By the start of the Triassic, all the Earth's landmasses had coalesced to form Pangaea, a supercontinent shaped like a giant C that straddled the Equator and extended toward the Poles. Almost as ...
