Fifty million years from now, Africa already have started to collide with southern Europe. Within 100 million years, the Mediterranean Sea will disappear completely and thousands of miles of new mountain ranges will be formed. Around the same time, Australia and Antarctica will have steadily continue on their paths northwards and the Americas will have proceeded on their westward course away from Europe and Africa, also towards Asia. 250 million years from now, all the continents will merge, resulting in the formation of a new supercontinent called Pangaea Ultima.
