A frightening merger.. a report reveals the emergence of a new continent after 300 million years
Scientists expect the emergence of the continent "Amasya" after 300 million years
New research, revealed by Australian scientists, expects the emergence of a new giant continent emerging from the shrinking of the Pacific Ocean, and it is called "Amasia".
The new continent forms large areas of land, but not until 300 million years ago.
This is what Australian scientists expected. They said that the Pacific Ocean may be confined when the American continent collides with the continent of Asia . Australia is also expected to play a role in this event, as it first collides with Asia and then connects with North America once the Pacific Ocean is closed.
That is why the new continent was called "Amasya", meaning America and Asia.
America will merge with Asia
According to scientists, the Pacific Ocean is contracting slowly but constantly, perhaps by about a few centimeters per year, and thus, the tectonic plates on which the two American continents are leveled, are pushing towards the west.
Scientists say, over two billion years, the Earth's continents collided together to form a supercontinent every 600 million years, known as the supercontinent cycle. This means that the current continents are set to meet again within hundreds of millions of years.
In an earlier report, published in 2012 in the American "Science" magazine, he said that nearly two billion years ago, there were three giant continents.
The oldest supercontinent was known as Nona, and it formed about 1.8 billion years ago. It was followed by the continent of "Rodinia", which existed about a billion years ago, and the last was "Pangea" about 300 million years ago.
