The existence of the supercontinent Pangea, which formed about 300 million years ago and broke up about 200 million years ago, is a cornerstone of plate tectonics, and processes resulting in its ...

The same geologic forces that stitched the supercontinent Pangea together also helped form the ancient coal beds that powered the Industrial Revolution, report researchers. The consolidation of the ...

Earth's mass extinctions have come for the dinosaurs and a whopping 95 percent of ocean species. Mammals, like us, may be next — eventually. In intriguing new research published in the science journal ...

Pangea Chat, a language-learning company based in Richmond, has made a series of hires aimed at enhancing its app — and is bringing it into the classroom on a widespread basis in the fall. A $256,000 ...

Pangaea was a massive supercontinent that formed between 320 million and 195 million years ago. At that time, Earth didn't have seven continents, but instead one giant one surrounded by a single ocean ...

Recently, my team reported unprecedented evidence of a continental connection between the ancient landmasses Laurentia (North America) and Iberia (the northern margin of Gondwana) in the Late ...

The continents we live on today are moving, and over hundreds of millions of years they get pulled apart and smashed together again. Occasionally, this tectonic plate-fueled process brings most of the ...

As the years tick by with most of the planet doing little in the way of reducing carbon emissions, researchers are getting increasingly serious about the possibility of carbon sequestration. If it ...

It's hard to imagine all of the world's land masses together as one supercontinent. Over 200 million years ago, however, that's what Earth looked like. The breakup of Pangea was essentially the first ...

A 130 million-year-old skull of an ancient animal that likely resembled a squirrel has shaken up the scientists' idea on when the supercontinent Pangaea likely split up, and suggests this break-up ...

The Nature Index tracks primary research articles from 145 natural-science and health-science journals, chosen based on reputation by an independent group of researchers. The Nature Index provides ...
