Dig into the science of plate tectonics to find out when the next supercontinent will emerge and how it could affect Earth s environment. In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener's theory of Continental Drift laid the foundation for our modern theory of plate tectonics. And today we know something even more exciting: Pangea was only the latest in a long lineage of supercontinents, and it won t be the last. Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl explores when the next supercontinent will emerge and what it might mean for Earth s environment. TMNWG: It's a cool video, but it kinda irks me how at 48 it shows what looks to be India heading for Asia, but it ends up as south-east Asia, while India itself seems to just sprout out from nowhere.

50 to 250 million years from now may sound like a huge gap of uncertainty, but it sounds like a huge gap of uncertainty.
That is because by then, humans will have evolved to develop superpowers to freeze plate tectonics in place.
Trust me bro, I dream about the future.
