Gondwana Was Much Bigger Than Thought | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Scientists just revealed Gondwana was 80% of Earth’s landmass 500 million years ago—way bigger than previously thought. Using chemical analysis of 25,000 volcanic rocks, they found hidden fragments beneath Asia, Europe, and North America, rewriting our understanding of ancient supercontinents. This colossal landmass likely reshaped sea levels, climate, and evolution. But experts warn it might still be hiding—some parts may be lost under oceans or swallowed by the Earth’s crust. Every new discovery keeps revealing how little we know about our planet’s wild past. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
