In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener's theory of Continental Drift laid the foundation for our modern theory of plate tectonics. And today we know something even more exciting: Pangea was only the latest in a long lineage of supercontinents, and it won't be the last. Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl explores when the next supercontinent will emerge — and what it might mean for Earth's environment.

Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl: The continents are moving. When will they collide?

The continents are moving. When will they collide?

Pangea, the last supercontinent, is just a chapter in Earth's geological saga. The next supercontinent forms in 50-250M years.

Ancient supercontinents shaped Earth's climate dramatically. The next merger may trigger mass extinctions by heating the planet.

Continental drift forecasts a new supercontinent in 50-250 million years, reshaping Earth and possibly triggering climate extremes.
