Continental drift after 100 million years
Continental drift after 100 million years. Map of the Earth showing the continents some 100 million years in the future, and 300 million years after the start of the break-up of the ancient supercontinent of Pangea. The Earths continents move over the surface of the Earth, driven by movements of the fluid mantle below the crust. This stage in the history shows the continents merging together once more to form a new supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, which it is thought will form around 150 million years after the point shown here

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible phenomenon of continental drift projected 100 million years into the future. The map depicts Earth's continents in a mesmerizing dance, as they gradually shift and merge over time. This particular stage in our planet's history reveals an awe-inspiring sight: the continents coming together once again to form a new supercontinent known as Pangea Ultima. Driven by movements within the fluid mantle beneath Earth's crust, these landmasses embark on an extraordinary journey across the globe. The illustration portrays Europe, Australia, Africa, Asia, North America, and South America converging towards each other against a pristine white background. It offers us a glimpse into what our world might look like approximately 300 million years after the initial breakup of ancient Pangea. The artwork beautifully captures this futuristic vision with meticulous attention to detail and precision. It serves as a testament to both geological processes and human imagination. As we observe this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the ever-changing nature of our planet and its profound impact on shaping life on Earth. This thought-provoking piece from Science Photo Library invites us to contemplate how tectonic forces continue to shape our world even millions of years into the future. It sparks curiosity about what lies ahead for humanity amidst these vast geological transformations that have shaped our past and will undoubtedly influence our future.
