250 Million years ago there was one big continent on earte scientists called it pangaea. very, very slowly , pangaea divided, and today there are five separate contnents move about ten centimetres every year
so what will our planet be like 50 million years from now? scientists think the atlantic ocean will get bigger andthe pacific ocean will get smaller. the mediterranean sea will disappear. europe and africa WILL JOIN TOGETHER. NORTH AND SOUTH AMerica will separate, and australia will move north. in africa, the great rift valley will get longer and east africa will become an island. alaska and russia will join together.
what will happen after that? some scientists believe that, in 250 million years' time, thefive different continents won't exist. there will be one big continent again- a new pangaea!
