Pangea Ultima: Earth in 250 Million Years?
Explanation: Is this what will become of the Earth's surface? The surface of the
Earth
is broken up into several
large plates
that are slowly shifting. About 250 million years ago, the
plates
on which the
present-day continents
rest were positioned quite
differently
, so that all the landmasses were clustered together in
one supercontinent
now dubbed
Pangea
. About 250 million years from now, the
plates
are again projected to reposition themselves so that a single landmass dominates. The above simulation from the
PALEAOMAP Project
shows this giant landmass:
Pangea Ultima
. At that time, the
Atlantic Ocean
will be just a distant memory, and whatever beings inhabit Earth will be able to walk from
North America
to
Africa
.
