Pangaea Proxima

Imma use this as world map for my next Pen&Paper campaign.
- 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.
- That’s exactly what I was thinking! Going to save it for my daughter’s games.

The mongols would rule the shit out of this supercontinent
- Hail Ming!
  
  Yuan

fyi there are many proposals for future continents, it's basically unknowable
- Sure, but its fun to speculate!
  
  The English language has words and grammar for speculation, "will" is not one of them.

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.
  
  Im gonna guess, from your response, you have the most experience on the subject of anyone we will find in this thread.
  
  I'm, unfortunately, likely in the same boat, as far as expertise is concerned. I have a degree in geochemistry, and I agree with your analysis of the assumptions made to produce this model, but all of the projections I've seen until this one suggested the closing of the pacific basin.
  Consider that much of the pacific mid-ocean ridge (the only thing preventing the closure of the pacific basin) is already being actively subducted under the eastern pacific boundary. Think about that: the spreading boundary itself is being subducted. This makes one wonder how it would be conceivable that the pacific basin widens in the future, despite the vast majority of the world's active subduction boundaries being along the pacific rim.
- 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.

I guess no point in climbing Mount Everest if it's not going to be the tallest in 250M years. That's a relief.

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.

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
- 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.
- Probably around Cairo

Apparently New Zeland is still off the map... Just like nowadays.
- New Zealand is the Gen X of countries.
- As it is written in the ancient texts.

It's good to know Brexit is only temporary.

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?

Florida stuck it in Africa and made the new highest point.
- And people say sell your Florida beachfront property!

Imagine the high speed rail network 🤤

Imagine the high speed rail opportunities
- Let’s hope in 250 mio. years we have better technology.
  
  In 250 mio.years Humans remains only as fossils.
  
  better than train?
- literally said the same thing.

Solves the Florida problem at least.

Pacific Ocean feeling pretty smug right now about maintaining its status as the largest ocean.
- And the Pacific Rim? It's the only rim, baby!
  
  And it goes aaaaaaaalllll the way ‘round.

Americans still won’t want to visit anywhere else…

Everybody’s 🇺🇸, they just don’t know it yet
- Amerika

At least Trump have his wall.

Tamriel! Or at least Cyrodiil+Elsweyr
- this made me realize how great this map would be for an alternate history or fantasy setting
  the mountain range between north america and africa creates the super interesting situation where the sides are almost entirely separated save for the coast and a teensy tiny bit near cape town that's sort of crossable, so the coast would see an insane amount of traffic and i could see there being a capital nestled in the mountains next to the passage to cape town.
  And of course the indian ocean would be where basically everyone lives, as others have said.
  
  I DMed a D&D campaign a few years ago for which I drew a map that was just North America with the water level up 300 meters and rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Nobody noticed it after I let the characters discover the map.

Cradle of civilization is going to be lit around the Indian ocean. It's like a super Mediterranean.

APPALACHIA SHALL RISE AGAIN

"The South will rise again" folks were right. They just had a much longer timeline than we imagined.

That Americas-Africa-Antarctica triple point is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I just know it

Okay, but are we gonna talk about how Lagos, Nigeria will become a ski resort town?

We aren't going to be around to see it. Shit, the way we're doing things nothing else will be around to see it either.

Back in my day we had multiple continents but now the tectonic plates have gone woke and wants us all to be one continent!

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

The worldbuilder in me sees a land of intelligent animals who live in a land strewn across with ancient human ruins.

LOOK OUT! AAAAGGHHHH

Paris and Rome are west of London lol
- You know what, fuck you. un-exits your br

Seasons Greasons!

Scandinavia south of Paris.

Can't wait!!!

The world will be covered with a whole new set of life forms, humans will be long gone, and there will be no evidence that we ever existed.
- They'll be fossils and a band of pollution akin to the oxygen catastrophe.
  
  A thin layer in the fossil record of iron oxide, microplastic particles, and the occasional Nokia phone.

What map projection is this? Asking for a friend 👀
