Amasia – New Future Supercontinent
Question: When will a new supercontinent form on Earth?
Answer: Scientists have already named our next new supercontinent. It’s name is Amasia.
Geological record reveals that in the past 2 billion years, there have been three supercontinents. The oldest known supercontinent, Nuna, came together about 1.8 billion years ago. The next, Rodinia, existed about 1 billion years ago, and the most recent, Pangaea, came together about 300 million years ago.

Amasia, is a possible future supercontinent that could be formed. Scientists predict that the Arctic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea will disappear, and Asia will crash into the Americas forming a supercontinent that will stretch across much of the Northern Hemisphere.
This prediction relies mostly on the fact that the Pacific Plate is already subducting under Eurasia and North America, a process which if continued will eventually cause the Pacific to close.
Previous studies suggest that supercontinents last about 100 million years or so before they break apart, setting the pieces adrift to start another cycle.
