Pacific Ocean feeling pretty smug right now about maintaining its status as the largest ocean.
Apparently New Zeland is still off the map… Just like nowadays.
“The South will rise again” folks were right. They just had a much longer timeline than we imagined.
LOOK OUT! AAAAGGHHHH
Tamriel! Or at least Cyrodiil+Elsweyr
Seasons Greasons!
Americans still won’t want to visit anywhere else…
fyi there are many proposals for future continents, it’s basically unknowable
Sure, but its fun to speculate!
Solves the Florida problem at least.
I guess no point in climbing Mount Everest if it’s not going to be the tallest in 250M years. That’s a relief.
Imagine the high speed rail network 🤤
I thought the pacific was getting smaller and the Atlantic was getting larger? I would expect the America’s to meet with east Asia.
This scenario is one possible projection; it assumes the eventual development of a subduction zone in the West Atlantic that would overcome the spreading at the mid Atlantic ridge, eventually sealing the basin. I don’t understand the mechanisms well enough to know how that prediction was made, so someone with more experience on the subject can chime in.
Im gonna guess, from your response, you have the most experience on the subject of anyone we will find in this thread.
From what the wikipedia page tells, under this hypothesis atlantic will stop widening in about 125 millions years, and begin to shrink.
Okay. Glad I’m not the only one and I can’t believe I had to scroll so far.
The mongols would rule the shit out of this supercontinent
Hail Ming!

Imma use this as world map for my next Pen&Paper campaign.
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Going to save it for my daughter’s games.
Numenera is actually (mostly) set on a far future Earth in which the continents have moved to form a new
pangaeasupercontinent. It’s actually way too far in the future for it to be this one, and there has been a whole bunch of continent-scale terraforming at some point, but still!Pangea is the name of only one supercontinent. The others have other names.
Good point! I think I saw the name “Pangaea Proxima” and forgot that they weren’t all variations on that
Cradle of civilization is going to be lit around the Indian ocean. It’s like a super Mediterranean.
