What is /sci/ opinion on the future of the conintents. Personally, I think a lot of these future models are inaccurate with Novopangaea coming closest to what I think will happen with these exceptions:

>Antartica will most likely collide with the Atlantic side of Patagonia in 20 myfn or so given current trends
>East Africa will separate in the North mostly from the mainland and collide with Southern Pakistan as Arabia drives between them like a wedge.
>The Atlantic, Indian and Southern oceans will merge as North America and Eurasioafrica close the Arctic ocean near modern Alaska/Northern Pacific while South America closes the South Pacific, wrapping around southern Australia which will have already collided with South China.

Any thoughts/critiques? This is based off the current movement of the contintents. I haven't seen much discussion about it in the geological community in the last 10 years or so, and given new findings this model seems to make the most sense. I call it BeringoArtica because of the fusing of the Eurasian and North American Cratons in the afeormentioned region of the Bering Strait and the nearby Arctic Ocean.

Far future is anything after the first few thousand/million years, anon.
