The next, dubbed Pangaea Ultima, is expected to form at the equator in about 250 million years, as the Atlantic Ocean shrinks and a merged Afro-Eurasian continent crashes into the Americas.

The distant future climate of Pangea Ultima is an intriguing study in where our planet, and species, are headed. But the news isn't all bad. After all, 250 million years is awfully far away.

The next, dubbed Pangaea Ultima, is expected to form at the equator in about 250 million years, as the Atlantic Ocean shrinks and a merged Afro-Eurasian continent crashes into the Americas.

The map shows that almost all countries will have created new borders after uniting into a gigantic mass of land, surrounded by water in the form of a remnant of the Indian Ocean.

The dynamics of these shifting plates split the last supercontinent, Pangea, and its remnants formed the world map as we know it. But every 400-600 million years, Earth’s landmasses crash back ...
