Pacific Ocean set to make way for world's next supercontinent

"The resulting new supercontinent has already been named Amasia because some believe that the Pacific Ocean will close (as opposed to the Atlantic and Indian oceans) when America collides with Asia. Australia is also expected to play a role in this important Earth event, first colliding with Asia and then connecting America and Asia once the Pacific Ocean closes.

New Curtin University-led research has found that the world's next supercontinent, Amasia, will most likely form when the Pacific Ocean closes in 200 to 300 million years.

Published in National Science Review, the research team used a supercomputer to simulate how a supercontinent forms and found that because the Earth has been cooling for billions of years, the thickness and strength of the plates under the oceans reduce with time, making it difficult for the next supercontinent to assemble by closing the "young" oceans, such as the Atlantic or Indian oceans.

Unlike Imperial coins of Rome, cities outside of Rome proper often have their own designs and their local mints. These provincials are fun to collect and offer very wide subject matters. Their legends are in Greek, so it is a little harder to decipher than imperial design. This one is from the city or Amasia.

The city of Amasya (Turkish pronunciation: [aˈmasja]), the Amaseia or Amasia of antiquity,[3] stands in the mountains above the Black Sea coast, set apart from the rest of Anatolia in a narrow valley along the banks of the Yeşilırmak River. Although near the Black Sea, this area is high above the coast and has an inland climate, well-suited to growing apples, for which Amasya province, one of the provinces in north-central Anatolia Turkey, is famed. It was the home of the geographer Strabo and the birthplace of the 15th century scholar and physician Amirdovlat Amasiatsi. Located in a narrow cleft of the Yesilirmak (Iris) river, it has a history of 7,500 years which has left many traces still evident today.

In antiquity, Amaseia (Greek: Αμάσεια) was a fortified city high on the cliffs above the river. It has a long history as a wealthy provincial capital, producing kings and princes, artists, scientists, poets and thinkers, from the kings of Pontus, through Strabo the geographer, to many generations of the Ottoman imperial dynasty. With its Ottoman-period wooden houses and the tombs of the Pontus kings carved into the cliffs overhead, Amasya is attractive to visitors. In recent years there has been a lot of investment in tourism and more foreign and Turkish tourists visit the city.

PONTUS, Amasia. Severus Alexander. AD 222-235. Æ (34mm, 24.58 g, 1h). Dated CY 228 (AD 225/6). Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Altar of Zeus Strateus, surmounted by eagle standing facing, head left, with wings spread; tree to left; above, Helios driving facing quadriga. RG 105; BMC 39. Good Fine, green-brown patina.

In 200-300 Million Years, the Supercontinent Amasia will form on Earth

In 200-300 Million Years, the Supercontinent Amasia will form on Earth

The current form of our planet will not last forever, because the lithospheric plates are constantly moving. Although they move very slowly, they do not stop, so in millions of years the continents will not look like we know them today. About 300 million years ago, there were not several continents, but only one supercontinent called Pangea. It gradually split into the individual continents we…
