Pangaea Ultima is a hypothetical future supercontinent that could form on Earth in the distant future. The concept of Pangaea Ultima is based on the theory of plate tectonics, which suggests that Earth's continents are not fixed but rather constantly moving and reshaping over millions of years.
According to scientific speculation, Pangaea Ultima would be the next supercontinent to form, potentially occurring 200 to 300 million years from now. It is envisioned as a result of the ongoing movement of tectonic plates and the continued convergence of Earth's continents.
The projected configuration of Pangaea Ultima suggests that the continents would collide once again, similar to how they were connected in the ancient supercontinent Pangaea. However, the exact arrangement and configuration of the future supercontinent are subject to various interpretations and are not definitively known.
As for its potential location, if Pangaea Ultima were to form, it is anticipated that the Atlantic Ocean would continue to expand, causing the Americas to move westward, eventually colliding with Eurasia and Africa. This collision would close the Atlantic Ocean and lead to the formation of a new supercontinent.
It is important to note that these predictions are based on current scientific understanding and modeling of plate tectonics, but they are speculative and subject to revision as our knowledge of Earth's geological processes evolves. The timescale for the formation of Pangaea Ultima is estimated to be on the order of tens to hundreds of millions of years.
