- DaviDTC, on 03/30/2009, -0/+125I can see Africa from my house.
- nmezib, on 03/29/2009, -2/+109what? hold on. What happened to the mid-atlantic ridge? that giant S-shaped ridge between the americas and europe/africa? isnt that a zone where the two tectonic plates are moving AWAY from each other?
remember Africa and South America were... spooning... and they got split apart (hence the mid-atlantic ridge). The atlantic ocean is therefore growing while the pacific is shrinking. Why would they reverse direction and come back together? - normlsparky, on 03/30/2009, -0/+85Since it looks like we'll all be neighbors in 250 million yrs., we better hope we can all get along with each other by then.
- jboitnott, on 03/29/2009, -0/+71Ah. Looking forward to a hike up the Mediterranean Mountains.
- emkaysmith, on 03/30/2009, -1/+64The mid-Atlantic ridge doesn't keep spreading *forever*, guys. After awhile, it slows, stops, and then begins to bounce back the other way. The earth's surface is a closed circle, remember.
But you're forgetting the important question: Whose fault is this? - sea206town, on 03/30/2009, -3/+50Damn! "97" called and wants there website back.
- bradleyland, on 03/30/2009, -2/+41Dugg for paying attention in 3rd grade science. I was thinking the same thing.
- redwolfwalker, on 03/29/2009, -3/+37I blame globalization
- normlsparky, on 03/30/2009, -1/+28I thought Palin was in Alaska.

- shakabrah, on 03/30/2009, -2/+25There is no Greenland. It is all Viking propaganda.
- reddevild, on 03/29/2009, -1/+24kinda cool that the sahara desert will be further north than all of Canada, Alaska and most of Russia, however, even with how far north it will be it will probably always rain in england

According to the Pangaea Ultima hypothesis, the Atlantic and Indian Oceans will continue to widen until new subduction zones bring the continents back together, forming a Future Pangaea. Most continents and microcontinents are predicted to collide with Eurasia, just as they did when most continents collided to Laurentia.

- ryan83189, on 03/30/2009, -0/+17That will put a dampener on those hurricanes. And you could drive anywhere in the world.
- amk29j, on 03/30/2009, -0/+15Apparently there are two major varying view points or "theories" as far as the future supercontinent. In a nutshell:
*The Pangaea Ultima (the picture in the link) theory is where the Continents will drift and stretch apart in the Atlantic until it creates subduction zones along the east coast of the Americas, causing the continents to re-collide in the same way as they were during the original Pangaea (although a little differently).
*Amasia is the theory in which the mid-Atlantic ridge would continue to separate the continents and close the Pacific to create the supercontinent of Amasia where Asia and the Americas collide through the Pacific.

Geography is amazing! - sirjoebob, on 03/30/2009, -0/+15before i say anything, do you have any mental disorders?
- rushiku, on 03/30/2009, -0/+15Speak for yourself, the actual 'rest of us' are on our way to the San Andres fault with a semi full of crowbars.
- Samurai77, on 03/30/2009, -3/+17That's what I thought too, it doesn't look right.
- funkedup, on 03/30/2009, -0/+13This will be great for people in the future. As a American, I'd be delighted to live in this future. I can just drive to Amsterdam because weed still won't be legal in 250 million years in the US.

- fadetoone, on 03/30/2009, -0/+12It would be pretty neat to see this map overlaid with the current country boundaries.
- sfcaptainrob, on 03/30/2009, -0/+12I'm surprised it wasn't hosted on Tripod.
- Ersh777, on 03/30/2009, -0/+11Because they miss each other after being apart for millions of years.

PS. Shut the ***** up. - jayg92, on 03/30/2009, -1/+9No way, the UK stays intact but hardly moves. I guess we'll always have ***** weather...
- TheMidnight, on 03/30/2009, -0/+8Well that and the sun won't "explode" like a supernova. It will bloat into a red giant that will likely engulf Earth, then shed its outer layers quietly in a planetary nebula until it's a white dwarf. Eventually it will go out and become a brown dwarf.
- Samurai77, on 03/30/2009, -0/+8Didn't you watch the Planet of the Apes, we will go and blow it all up way before then.
- BigStare, on 03/30/2009, -5/+13I know, the rest of us were praying for that as well.
- crapuccino, on 03/30/2009, -0/+7Bit of a difference between 250 million years and 4 billion years I'm afraid.

- theexitwound, on 03/30/2009, -3/+10Except that the deserts exist at 30 degrees north and south of the equator. Those pesky Hadley cells. The current Saraha Desert will probably be a rainforest.
- thcobbs, on 03/30/2009, -1/+8Don't forget about those fresh-water dolphins/sharks that will evolve in that inland sea.
- inactive, on 03/30/2009, -2/+9assuming we haven't destroyed it by then
- wastelander, on 03/30/2009, -0/+7*****, we all know the world is flat.
- SocialPoison, on 03/30/2009, -1/+8Hardly a loss
- graemee, on 03/30/2009, -0/+7They'll be extinct, but I'm hoping for large carnivorous penguins hunting the oceans
