The new TED talk lesson is about the theory of the drift of the continents. This theory was launched in the early 20th century, by Alfred Wegener.
The theory laid the foundation for our modern theory of plate tectonics. And today we know something even more exciting: Pangea was only the latest in a long lineage of supercontinents, and it won’t be the last.
Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl explores when the next supercontinent will emerge — and what it might mean for Earth’s environment.
The TED-Ed teaching lesson is by Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl, and is directed by Iuri Araujo, Província Studio.
