Summary

Dig into the science of plate tectonics to find out when the next supercontinent will emerge— and how it could affect Earth’s environment.--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.Lesson by Jean-Baptiste P.
