Will continents come together again?

Will continents come together again?

The Earth's continents are in constant motion. On at least three occasions, they have all collided to form one giant continent. If history is a guide, the current continents will coalesce once again to form another supercontinent. And it's all because continents sit on moving plates of the Earth's crust.

What is the next supercontinent going to be called?

Pangaea Proxima (also called Pangaea Ultima, Neopangaea, and Pangaea II) is a possible future supercontinent configuration. Consistent with the supercontinent cycle, Pangaea Proxima could occur within the next 300 million years.

Is Pangea The most recent supercontinent?

The most recent supercontinent to incorporate all of Earth's major—and perhaps best-known—landmasses was Pangea. Supercontinents have coalesced and broken apart episodically over the course of Earth's geological history.

What will happen after Pangea Ultima?

After pangea ultima (~250 million years from now), depending if plate tectonics is still active, there may be one more supercontinent. But as earth heats up due to the sun becoming more luminous, plate tectonics will stop.
