- goeatsmsht, on 03/27/2008, -15/+156Hey, I'm no scientist, but if this is what the Earth's land masses looked like at first and they have been slowly moving apart over the years, wouldn't they re-form the other way around? What I'm saying is that California would be up against China. i.e. no Pacific Ocean
- Layne, on 03/27/2008, -2/+117Damn, it'd be much harder to ignore all the terrible ***** in Africa.
- bringmeupmusic, on 03/27/2008, -28/+134Europe pokes Canada. I'm touching you. I'm still touching you.
Canada whines to the Queen MOOOOOMMMMMMMM Europe won't stop touching me! - Cerialthriller, on 03/27/2008, -8/+76this could have saved tons of money on shipping fees in the slave trader days
- DimensionalPunk, on 03/27/2008, -1/+53Suck it, Atlantic Ocean!
- LoveYouSomeEric, on 03/27/2008, -12/+55Baby Jesus built the Earth 6000 years ago exactly as we see it today. It has been that way ever sense and will remain as such until Baby Jesus returns to Earth and defeats the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the Final Battle of Pastageddon.
- LomasLou, on 03/27/2008, -3/+43This will happen much sooner if Obama is elected President, he's the uniter.
- npcabral, on 03/27/2008, -6/+45Fake..... thats obviously photoshopped...
- hiPpymIck, on 03/27/2008, -6/+44eh?
- digidelia, on 03/27/2008, -3/+40why does antarctica/australia have a giant vagina between them
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -2/+33honestly why even bother commenting?
- awk101, on 03/27/2008, -6/+35This would make life interesting...
- dfdub, on 03/27/2008, -3/+31Frog 1: Fire zee missiles!
Frog 2: But I am le tired...
Frog 1: Well take a nap, then FIRE ZEE MISSILES! - Sil369, on 03/27/2008, -0/+25See the earth IS flat.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -2/+27That is where I will lay claim to my new kingdom, Cocklandia.
- Comanche, on 03/27/2008, -0/+24Apparently you and the people that dugg your comment decided not to read the map.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -12/+36sorry I thought Earth would be consumed in a fireball of death dealt to us by the compassionate and loving Christian god?
- Gustomucho, on 03/27/2008, -2/+26Human will maybe not survive 250 millions years, but Earth will. You fail. Deathstar much?
- brstilson, on 03/27/2008, -1/+24If you look at the previous map from the same site, it says that new subduction zones will appear on the eastern coast of the US and the Mid-atlantic ridge will be subducted under North America, causing the continents to drift back together.
- itsradBrad, on 03/27/2008, -3/+23I say we leave it to the scientists.
I mean, spending decades studying geological trends and developing models for prediction probably gives them a bit more insight as to what the Earth will look like than the "I'm no scientist" guy. - Rohhob, on 03/27/2008, -3/+21Yea, that confused me too. The Atlantic ocean is getting larger as the Americas are moving away from Europe and Africa...so shouldn't the Pacific be a distant memory and the masses be rearranged?
- cli006, on 03/27/2008, -2/+20If humans were still around, I think we'd all be a mixed race of light brownish people like on South Park. Dey took er jerbs!
- themastersb, on 03/27/2008, -0/+17WTF mate?
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -6/+22Nuh uh we all know the world was magicked into the way we see it today.
- elipabst, on 03/27/2008, -0/+16Haha all you morons who thought I was an idiot for buying up all that oceanfront property in Siberia are going to be eating crow when I'm riiiiiiich!
- fwertz, on 03/27/2008, -3/+18Yeah, it's called "Windows Vista".
- cyrix, on 03/27/2008, -1/+15Le Frog: To action!
Henchfrogs: We surrender!
Le Frog: Not that action, you idiots! The kung-fu thing! - kingvik, on 03/27/2008, -0/+13Atlantic Lake*
- Dokument, on 03/27/2008, -0/+12yeah it should be just called the ocean
- jdh24, on 03/27/2008, -0/+12especially when the 750 million europeans have to slowly migrate somewhere else unless they want to get their towns destroyed by giant mountains
- DoscoJones, on 03/27/2008, -0/+11Earth is going to be fine. Humans? Not so much.
It would be interesting to come back in a few million years to see what the rats have done with the place. - Big-Pat, on 03/27/2008, -0/+10Road Trip!
- Sil369, on 03/27/2008, -0/+10Looks like a map from Civilization.
- nuni, on 03/27/2008, -0/+9No it doesn't. Africa is between the two.
- minorthreat, on 03/27/2008, -1/+10Exactly, you shouldn't. Just enjoy a dull boring life of ignorance, busch beer and mindless manual labor. :)
- Vitrophyric, on 03/27/2008, -0/+9The fact that the Atlantic has been spreading so long means that the oceanic crust along the American East Coast is older, colder, denser and ready to become a subduction zone and start closing the Atlantic back up. You guys are assuming the continents head in one direction until they bump into another continent on the other side, and it's more complicated than that.
- Vitrophyric, on 03/27/2008, -0/+9You're right that it's all one plate right now, but plates don't last forever. Sometimes they split into two with a subduction zone or a spreading ridge in the middle, and sometimes two plates collide, build some mountains, and merge into one plate that's moving together. The Atlantic originally formed by splitting a continent in half like this.
- crazyeyezkilla, on 03/27/2008, -0/+8Christopher Scotese, the guy who made this map, is pretty authoritative. His paleogeographic reconstructions get used at geology conferences all the time. I'm sure there's some debate, but I bet he knows what he's doing. Here's his website:
http://www.scotese.com/ - lansuggs, on 03/27/2008, -0/+8That's why there's a little something called "peer review"
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -2/+10hahahaha
Even if we are polluting the environment and killing the life on this planet, we are doing NOTHING to the structure of the planet as a whole. - noots, on 03/27/2008, -0/+8I've got a feeling humans won't be around in 250 million years. Asteroids, natural disasters, man made disasters, war. There is too much time for something cataclysmic to happen for it - not to -
won't we be too close to the sun by this time? - Sil369, on 03/27/2008, -0/+8Dinosaurs ON NOM NOM NOM
- brstilson, on 03/27/2008, -0/+8Even if humans survive, our descendants 250 million years from now sure as hell won't be "human."
- baudbwoy, on 03/27/2008, -0/+8looks like someone hit the reset button
- SirDomino, on 03/27/2008, -1/+9Wow, The Bush dynasty will have a hard time controlling those borders...
- nolesfan247, on 03/27/2008, -0/+8This will be the time when we will be forced to finally pay attention to Africa: when the continent slams into the United States.
- diversionmary, on 03/27/2008, -0/+7algae
- Disgod, on 03/27/2008, -0/+7Yup, NASA is one of those sources that you should never trust. They just have scientists that have been studying for years in each of their fields, they probably know less than you or I or spent 1 minute looking at a single photo.
- airburst, on 03/27/2008, -0/+7I see, because only whites are racist. Were you being ironic when you chose your nick?
