Questions of the Week

| Pictured above is what scientists think our continents will look like 250 million years from now. Scientists call this Pangaea Ultima! How is this future Pangaea different and the same as the Pangaea of 250 million years ago? What do you think would be forming between North America, South America, and Africa? |
What will be different about pangaea Ultima than Pangea, is that there will be a lake in the middle. What will be forming between North America, South America, and Africa are mountains, were the plates collided with one another.
ReplyDeleteAfter millions of years of crashing into each other and erosion, will the continents wear down to small islands?
