The surface of the <A 
href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/earth.html">Earth</A> is broken up into several <A 
href="http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/tectonics.html">large plates</A> that 
are slowly shifting. About 250 million years ago, the <A 
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techtonic_plates">plates</A> on which the <A 
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continents">present-day continents</A> rest 
were positioned quite <A 
href="http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/techist.html">differently</A>, so 
that all the landmasses were clustered together in <A 
href="http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/dec98/913866772.Sh.r.html">one 
supercontinent</A> now dubbed <A 
href="http://www.scotese.com/newpage8.htm">Pangea</A>. About 250 million years 
from now, the <A 
href="http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/tecmech.html">plates</A> are again 
projected to reposition themselves so that a single landmass dominates. The 
above simulation from the <A 
href="http://www.scotese.com/research.htm">PALEAOMAP Project</A> shows this 
giant landmass: <A href="http://www.scotese.com/future2.htm">Pangea Ultima</A>. 
At that time, the <A 
href="https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/zh.html">Atlantic 
Ocean</A> will be just a distant memory, and whatever beings inhabit Earth will 
be able to walk from <A

America</A> to <A href="http://www.nsrc.org/codes/bymap/africa.html">Africa</A>. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/66CECBBA-B151-493B-9C4B-824EAB479606/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
