    Formation of The Continents

    Uploaded by

    Princess Angelica Navarra
    The continents are constantly shifting as tectonic plates collide and move apart over millions of years. In approximately 250 million years, a new supercontinent called Pangaea Proxima will form as the current continents gradually collide together, with only a small remnant of the Atlantic Ocean remaining to separate the joined landmasses marked by new mountain ranges from massive plate collisions.

    LOCATION OF
    THE
    250 YEARS FROM NOW
    CONTINENTS
    The continents are in constant motion: Tectonic
    plates crash together and break apart, creating
    new crust while old crust is pulled below the
    surface. The process shrinks and widens oceans,
    uplifts mountain ranges, and rearranges
    landmasses. In about 250 million years a new
    supercontinent, Pangaea Proxima, will form
    v
    PANGAEA
    PROXIMA

    250 MILLION YEARS


    IN THE FUTURE
    Only a vestige of the
    Atlantic Ocean remains as
    landmasses are joined
    together into a new super-
    continent. New high
    mountains mark the sites
    of massive collisions.
