In separate articles published recently by The Geological Society of London, Yale geologists David Evans, R. Damian Nance, and their colleagues debate the existence of Pannotia, a supercontinent that ...

Pannotia is another debated supercontinent, which may have briefly existed around 560 million years ago, combining parts of Gondwana, North America and Northern Europe.

A geologist who first proposed the now-accepted supercontinent cycle theory in the 1980s has rallied to the cause of one of those supercontinents, Pannotia, that is in danger of being overlooked.

The Pannotia supercontinent configuration was one born of coincidence and didn’t last long, breaking up just 60 million years later and giving way to Pangaea, last of Earth’s supercontinents.

“The Pannotia supercontinent is a major landmass,” during the Ediacaran Period, according to the map. Based on it, there was ...

A third supercontinent called Pannotia may have formed roughly 600 million years ago near the South Pole, but its existence is debated. Today, scientists are predicting how continents will merge ...

The formation of a new “supercontinent” could wipe out humans and all other mammals still alive in 250 million years, researchers have predicted.

A recent study published in Nature Geoscience uses supercomputer climate models to examine how a supercontinent, dubbed Pangea Ultima (also called Pangea Proxima), that will form 250 million years ...

The last supercontinent that existed on Earth was called Pangea, and it split up roughly 200 million years ago. Earth’s continents are drifting now, and they could merge back together in 250 ...
