Scientists predict that Africa is going to smash into Europe as Australia migrates north to merge with Asia. Meanwhile, the Atlantic Ocean will probably widen for a spell before it reverses course and later disappears.
"Two hundred and fifty million years ago the landmasses of Earth were clustered into one supercontinent dubbed Pangea. As Yogi Berra might say, it looks like "deja vu all over again" as the present-day continents slowly converge during the next 250 million years to form another mega-continent: Pangea Ultima".
View the link below for information related to the above statement, then research additional information about present plate motion to predict future continental positions. Using the information that you find, discuss the landmass formation that will occur if they have predicted correctly. What significant change may occur if this would happen? What changes would occur if this were to happen quickly in today's world?
