Attempting to predict the end of the world is far from a new idea and is a process that has had absolutely no luck in finding a time frame or date. However, there is no need to start panicking.

There's a billion-year gap in Earth's geological history. A new study seeks to explain the mystery.

The formation of a new “supercontinent” has the potential to wipe out humans and all other mammal life in 250 million years, a new study found. In a study of the impacts of climate extremes, ...

(CNN) — The formation of a new “supercontinent” could wipe out humans and all other mammals still alive in 250 million years, researchers have predicted. Using the first-ever supercomputer climate ...

Researchers simulated temperature trends and tectonic plate movement to monitor their impact on mammals. Supercomputer simulation shows that climate extremes are likely to drive land mammal extinction ...

Earth could once again be dominated by a single continental mass in roughly 200 to 250 million years. The planet moves through natural cycles in which continents break apart and later reassemble, and ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. David Bressan is a geologist who covers curiosities about Earth. Over the past 2 billion years, Earth's continents have collided ...

Deep diamonds from Collier-4 from the Juina area, Brazil. Washington, DC—Diamonds contain evidence of the mantle rocks that helped buoy and grow the ancient supercontinent Gondwana from below, ...

The next supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, is likely to get so hot so quickly that mammals cannot adapt, a new supercomputer simulation has forecast. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
