EVER since Wegener published in 1915 his remarkable theory of the drift of the continents and the movement of the poles, most of us have viewed a map of the world with entirely different eyes, and ...

This map attempts a kind of 3-D simulation by projecting the map onto a torus. This keeps the continents in decent shape while causing the oceans to appear smaller, and cutting off half of Australia ...

If oceans didn’t exist and there was only land between continents, traveling around the world would look very different! We’d likely have huge, continuous landscapes with forests, deserts ...

The Earth as we know it today is the result of billions of years of geological activity, where continents have shifted, collided, and broken apart over time. But what did Earth look like in its early ...

Biogeographical regions of marine organisms, i.e., their distribution across different habitats, often overlap well with the ...

Researchers from University of California, Riverside have warned that movement of Earth's continents could wipe out marine life in the deepest parts of the oceans by starving them of oxygen.

The Italian director Tommaso Santambrogio shot “Oceans Are the Real Continents” in San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba, with a cast of nonactors playing like-named characters they had a hand in ...

Director Tommaso Santambrogio’s beautifully realized first feature, Oceans Are the Real Continents (Los Océanos Son Los Verdaderos Continentes), presents a number of intriguing paradoxes: It ...

I CAN find no flaw in the reasoning on the dynamical question of the permanence of continents and oceans, in Mr. Starkie Gardner's letter in NATURE of December 5 (p. 103), by which he endeavours ...
