Alfred Wegener’s Continental Drift theory, which emerged in the early 20th century, paved the way for our current understanding of plate tectonics. What’s even more intriguing is that Pangea was merely the most recent in a series of supercontinents, and there will be others in the future. In this video from Ted Ed, delve into the science of plate tectonics to uncover when the next supercontinent will arise and the potential environmental consequences it could have for our planet.
