Great news for aerophobes. If the hypothesis is correct, then it will be possible to reach any country on foot.
It is not the first time that scientists predict that many millions of years from now, the continents on Earth could reunite into a huge supercontinent. Yes, once the land on the planet has already broken into several parts, but it will not forever be in this form. Geologists have shown what the earth might look like in 2.5 million centuries.
At the end of the Paleozoic, the planet Earth did not look at all the way you are used to seeing it from space. Instead of the usual continents on the planet, there was one huge supercontinent called Pangea. It united almost all the land of the planet, but then the continents decided to scatter in different directions.
First, the supercontinent Gondwana broke away, which includes Africa, South America, Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand, as well as Arabia, Madagascar and India. And then the continents decided to become more independent and parted in all four directions, becoming a familiar world to you. Something like this, if in an accelerated form.
Based on how Pangea was divided into different continents, scientists have hypothesized that in about 250 million years they will again decide to become one, once again turn into one giant continent called Pangea Ultima.
Although you don't have to wait that long to see a new image of the Earth. Already, geologists are ready to show you what a new supercontinent might look like, provided that our planet will still exist by that time. Finally, the phrase "we will have time to reach the Canadian border" will become relevant for Russia as well.
