252 million years ago, between the Permian and Triassic periods, the Earth's land masses gathered together into the single supercontinent Pangaea.

About 650 million years ago, the next supercontinent, called Pannotia, came together.

Meanwhile, when the next supercontinent assembles, it's more likely to heat things up.

同时，当下一个级大陆聚集时，它更有可能使事情升温。

Its landmasses were forming a supercontinent called Pangea.

它陆地正形成一个叫做盘古大陆大陆。

So to determine when a new supercontinent will emerge, we need to predict where these plates are headed.
