Pangea Chat, a language-learning company based in Richmond, has made a series of hires aimed at enhancing its app — and is bringing it into the classroom on a widespread basis in the fall. A $256,000 ...

Earth's mass extinctions have come for the dinosaurs and a whopping 95 percent of ocean species. Mammals, like us, may be next — eventually. In intriguing new research published in the science journal ...

As the years tick by with most of the planet doing little in the way of reducing carbon emissions, researchers are getting increasingly serious about the possibility of carbon sequestration. If it ...

Pangaea was a massive supercontinent that formed between 320 million and 195 million years ago. At that time, Earth didn't have seven continents, but instead one giant one surrounded by a single ocean ...

It's hard to imagine all of the world's land masses together as one supercontinent. Over 200 million years ago, however, that's what Earth looked like. The breakup of Pangea was essentially the first ...

A 130 million-year-old skull of an ancient animal that likely resembled a squirrel has shaken up the scientists' idea on when the supercontinent Pangaea likely split up, and suggests this break-up ...

Recently, my team reported unprecedented evidence of a continental connection between the ancient landmasses Laurentia (North America) and Iberia (the northern margin of Gondwana) in the Late ...

The ancient supercontinent of Rodinia turned inside out as the Earth swallowed its own ocean some 700 million years ago, new research suggests. Rodinia was a supercontinent that preceded the more ...

The continents we live on today are moving, and over hundreds of millions of years they get pulled apart and smashed together again. Occasionally, this tectonic plate-fueled process brings most of the ...

The oceanic crust produced by the Earth today is significantly thinner than crust made 170 million years ago during the time of the supercontinent Pangea, according to researchers. The thinning is ...
