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.
Seasons Greasons!
fyi there are many proposals for future continents, it's basically unknowable
Americans still won’t want to visit anywhere else…
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 🤤
Solves the Florida problem at least.
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.
Okay. Glad I’m not the only one and I can’t believe I had to scroll so far.
From what the wikipedia page tells, under this hypothesis atlantic will stop widening in about 125 millions years, and begin to shrink.
The mongols would rule the shit out of this supercontinent
Hail Ming!

Cradle of civilization is going to be lit around the Indian ocean. It's like a super Mediterranean.
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 ~~pangaea~~ supercontinent. 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
It's comforting to see that the large cities will still exist in 250 million years.
Note it doesn't say they're still populated...
We have to survive, imagine the high speed trains of the future!!!!
I'm sure they're populated... by something. Roaches, probably.
Florida stuck it in Africa and made the new highest point.
Appalachia out here like "it's been long enough. it's time i got huge again"
Building a wall to prevent other continents from invading America?
what the fuck where is the middle east, did we get erased ??? ^/s^
It's, strangely, pretty much where you left it, right between India and Africa.
lmao I kind of see it now, it appears the Arabian peninsula is no longer a peninsula but a tiny bump. Oh well good to know I wasn't erased
Probably around Cairo
The prediction here is that Africa moves westward, squashing the Arabian peninsula into the south coast of the Iranian plateau. The Arabian peninsula becomes the coastline between India and Africa
yup I noticed the arabian peninsula has become a sad little bump next to India lol, thank you though
Yes. No state solution persisted.
Imagine the high speed rail opportunities
literally said the same thing.
Okay, but are we gonna talk about how Lagos, Nigeria will become a ski resort town?
Why does this look like the Earth Kingdom?
Avatar takes place 250 million years in the future.
The half animals must be mutants due to WW3 fallout /j
Paris and Rome are west of London lol
You know what, fuck you. un-exits your br
Can't wait!!!
