Amasia: Our Earth in the way we know it is not always what it looks like today. Researchers have found evidence of the formation of a new continent from the collapse of three continents on the surface of our planet.
The researchers even believe that our planet has already begun the formation of another continent.
In an interview he gave, the scientist Zheng-Xiang Li by Curtin University Institute of Geoscience Research in Western Australia he explained that, as recent measurements show, the Atlantic Ocean has begun to grow, while the Pacific Ocean, on the other hand, has begun to diminish.
"Global GPS measurements tell us that the Atlantic Ocean is [and still] expanding a few centimeters a year, while the Pacific Ocean is shrinking at the same rate," the researcher said. Science Network WA.
The next Pangea will be created in 200 for millions of years and will be called "Amasia".
If this trend continues, experts expect the Pacific Ocean to disappear and America will join Eurasia. Judging by the rate of change in the Atlantic and Pacific, it is estimated that the new continent could be created at 200 for millions of years.
"Such a cycle of change is likely to be accompanied by significant upheavals in the Earth's mantle," said Zheng-Xiang Li of possible future developments.
Geologists are so sure that our planet is in the process of forming a new continent that they have come up with a name for the new continent, which they believe will cover the two third of the Earth's surface: Amasia or Amasia (From America and Asia).
Geologists expect the new superhuman Amasya to include not only America and Eurasia, but also Australia.
Their figures show that Australia is moving north about 7 centimeters per year. This means that, sometime in the future, the isolated continent will most likely be united with Eurasia.
Last month UNESCO and the International Union of Geological Sciences agreed to fund one project for its further study theorys.
This new research project is expected to last for 5 years. It will officially be announced at an international conference scheduled to take place in Montreal next May.
