Scientists shed light on what the Earth might look like 300 million years from now, with the simulation they carried out on supercomputers. The results indicated that the Pacific Ocean would disappear and a new supercontinent would form.
Our 4.54 billion-year-old planet, Earth, continues to evolve and change shape every day. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the EarthpangeaWhile it consisted of a single continent called ‘, this continent dispersed over time and eventually the Earth regained its present form.
Well, in our world, which is known to form a supercontinent every 600 million years, today’s oceans and seas in the future. What will replace the mainland? The scientists who pursued this question ran a simulation with the help of supercomputers and gave the answer to the question.
This is how the Earth might change in 300 million years:
According to the information scientists got from the simulation, it is 300 million years from now. Pacific Ocean there will be no such thing. Today, the ocean, which continues to shrink by a few centimeters every year, will be replaced by the continents of North America and Asia.
This new ‘supercontinent’, which will be formed by the combination of the North American and Asian continents, will actually be the continent that has been put forward as a theory for a long time: Amasya (Amasia). On the other hand, scientists previously thought that with the formation of this continent, not the Pacific, but the Caribbean Sea or the Atlantic Ocean would disappear. (Amasya is a word formed as a result of the combination of the names of America and Asia)
In addition, scientists believe that when the new continent is formed, the sea level will be lower than today, and that the new supercontinent will be formed. to very high temperatures claimed to have. Of course, this simulation and the results obtained will continue to exist as a theory for now.
The research was published in the National Science Review.
