Pacific Ocean Shrinking; New Supercontinent Forming, Study Finds

Scientists from Curtin University and Peking University have projected that a new supercontinent, named Amasia, could form within the next 200 to 300 million years as the Pacific Ocean gradually closes. Their research, published in the journal *National Science Review*, suggests that tectonic plates will converge, leading to significant geographical changes. Australia is anticipated to collide with Asia, which will play a crucial role in Amasia's formation, as it connects America and Asia following the Pacific's closure. Dr. Chuan Huang, a member of the research team, emphasized that this new model challenges previous theories by indicating that the Pacific Ocean, remnants of the ancient Panthalassa superocean, will close first. Historically, Earth's continents have merged to create supercontinents approximately every 600 million years, suggesting that a new cycle is imminent. sources
