Researchers say the oceans are shrinking to form a subcontinent

247 A study led by geophysicist Chuan Huang from Curtin University in Australia found that the Pacific Ocean is shrinking every year. According to research published in the scientific journal National Science Review, the Pacific Ocean is getting smaller by about an inch each year because the tectonic plates are moving westward. Joining North America and Asia is a possibility that scientists have studied for more than ten years.

The age of the prediction for the emergence of the new supercontinent, called Amasia, is about 200 million years. The information was published on Thursday (6) by the site Techmundo.

According to Huang and his fellow researchers, to understand the emergence of a supercontinent, scientists must pay more attention to the strength of the lithosphere, the Earth’s most solid upper layer.

The study showed that “the known supercontinents on Earth are believed to have formed in very different ways, with two final members being introversion and extroversion.” “The first involves the closure of the inner oceans formed during the disintegration of the former supercontinent, while the second involves the closure of the former outer ocean.”
