Based on the path continents are presently tramp , this map show what Earth will look like in 250 million years . One elephantine supercontinent .
Two hundred and fifty million old age ago , near all land mass above ocean level was squash together into one jumbo supercontinent , call Pangea . During this clip , invertebrate sprightliness gave way to little vertebrates on the land and sea , to amphibious vehicle , to reptiles , and eventually large state and sea brute . Then the mega - continent begin breaking aside , sequester that life to the point where one continent could successfully develop koala bears and thus justify the entire painful and tedious process of evolution .
But continents ca n’t stay apart for long . It seems that supercontinents have been forming and re - forming throughout the four billion year account of the earth . aright now , the continents are scattered and sequester , but they ’re on a collision course , and will smush together to organize another supercontinent , Pangea Ultima within the next 250 million years .
India has already smashed into Asia , creating the Himalayas , and Africa is jetting up towards Europe . North and South America will unite and then direct over towards Afreurasia . Lastly , the most distant of continents , Antarctica , will slide off the south pole and press up against Australia . The result will be the Americas , Eurasia , and Africa forming a ring around a large , landlocked sea , with Antarctica and Australia separated from them by just a humble strip of water . What will that set the degree for ?
