Presenting - 'Amasia', The Next Supercontinent! Ever since Earth
has been in existence there have been the formation and breaking
apart of many supercontinents - While Pangaea, that existed
between 150-300 million years ago is the most well-known, prior
to that was Nuna (1.8 billion years ago), Rodina (1 billion
years ago) and many more that cannot be verified because 2
billion year-old rocks containing evidence of magnetic fields,
are hard to find. And while most scientists are in agreement
that Rodina, Nuna and Pangaea did exist, there is very little
consensus on the continents they comprised of - Some experts
believe that they were the same ones, while others think that
the wandering landmasses reassembled on the opposite sides each
time - about 180° away from where the previous supercontinent
had come together. Now, a group of geologists led by Yale
University graduate student Ross Mitchell have a new theory -
They think that each supercontinent came together about 90° from
its predecessor. That is, the g
