Behold! The World's Next Supercontinent, Amasia
A possible Amasia configuration 280 million years into the future. Credit: Curtin University New research has found that the world’s next supercontinent, Amasia, will most likely form when the Pacific Ocean closes in 200 to 300 million years. A Curtin University-led research team used a supercomputer to simulate how a supercontinent forms. They discovered that because the Earth has been cooling for billions of years, the thickness and strength of the plates under the oceans reduce with time, making it difficult for the next supercontinent to assemble by closing the “young” oceans, such as the Atlantic or Indian oceans. The study was published recently in National Science Review. According to lead author Dr. Chuan Huang, from Curtin’s...
