Pangaea Proxima (also called Pangaea Ultima, Neopangaea, and Pangaea II) is a possible future supercontinent configuration. Consistent with the supercontinent cycle, Pangaea Proxima could form within the next 250 million years.

2021年11月30日 · Scientists from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the University of Lisbon (Portugal), and Bangor University (United Kingdom) leveraged a NASA supercomputer to explore possible scenarios for Earth supercontinents and climate 200 and 250 million years into the future.

2023年10月21日 · 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...

2020年10月25日 · In 1982, American geologist Christopher Scotese posited Pangea Proxima — literally “the next Pangea.” (Scotese originally called his hypothesis Pangea Ultima, meaning "the final Pangea,” before, finally, hedging his bets.)

Pangaea Proxima (or Pangaea Ultima) This model suggests that the Atlantic Ocean will close as the Americas reverse direction and collide with Europe and Africa, forming a supercontinent near the equator.

2023年10月16日 · A study predicts that the formation of a supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, 250 million years in the future could lead to extreme temperatures, threatening mammalian survival due to increased volcanism and a hotter Sun.

2018年5月28日 · The process shrinks and widens oceans, uplifts mountain ranges, and rearranges landmasses. In about 250 million years a new supercontinent, Pangaea Proxima, will form.

2021年1月25日 · But realizing it will not be the last supercontinent, the thermal energy stored inside Earth is enough to complete another two or three Wilson cycles, he later reamed it Pangea Proxima -...

2024年5月18日 · For Pangea Ultima, or Proxima, the continents converge around a small ocean or sea. Pangea Proxima means “the next pangea,” harkening back to the prehistoric state of affairs.

2023年10月17日 · According to a recent study published in Nature Geoscience, Pangaea Ultima’s rise will likely lead to a precipitous fall in biodiversity caused by scorching surface temperatures that could render...
