A simulation found the new supercontinent Amasia will form in the next 300 million years when the Pacific Ocean disappears and pulls the continents together over the North Pole.

When glacial ice sheets melt, something counterintuitive happens to sea levels. Logic might suggest that nearby levels would rise, but instead they fall. Thousands of miles away, however, they do go up in a kind of seesaw effect. Why? The answer is that water disperses away owing to the loss of gravitational pull toward theWhen glacial ice sheets melt, something counterintuitive happens to sea levels.
