THE NEW PANGEAvikingo
There is a geological theory suggesting that in about 200-300 million years, the movement of tectonic plates will once again merge the current continents into a supercontinent, similar to what happened with Pangea around 300 million years ago.
This concept is part of the supercontinent cycle, where landmasses drift apart and reunite over hundreds of millions of years due to continental drift. Geologists have proposed several possible scenarios for this future supercontinent, with some of the most discussed being:
Pangea Proxima: A supercontinent that would form in the same region as the ancient Pangea.
Novopangea: Would emerge if the Atlantic continues to expand while the Pacific closes, pushing continents into a new union pattern.
Aurica: Would form if the Indian Ocean disappears and the current continents shift toward the equator.
Amasia: In this scenario, North America and Asia would merge near the North Pole.
Although this is an extremely slow process, scientists can predict it by measuring the movement of tectonic plates. So, if the planet is still standing in 250 million years, we might once again have a single continent.
