Pangaea Promixa be like: USA: lemme just snatch thst from russia

[@idle_speculation]

I believe that Amasia is probably the most likely future supercontinent mode. It follows the current trend of the subduction of the Pacific, which has been going on since Pangaea broke up, as well as recognizing it is unlikely for Africa to split in two, given that the East African Rift is the slowest-growing arm of the Afar Triple Junction, and is likely to die down and become an aulacogen. It also recognizes the African and Pacific Large Low-Shear Velocity Provinces as a barrier to both Antarctica and South America crossing the Pacific. It is also based on studies of the latitude of ancient supercontinents which conclude that they form roughly 90 degrees away from their predecessors. Novopangaea may not be possible, both because of the previous issues I pointed out with the presence of LLSVPs blocking convergent plate tectonics in the Pacific and the EAR's slow growth, but also because the Earth's mantle may be too cool for an extroversion cycle to begin. While Aurica and Pangaea Proxima both continue the Atlantic's Wilson Cycle, Aurica is an unlikely outcome as it is not likely the Baikal Rift will form a new ocean, and Scotese's Pangaea Proxima model relies on a faulty understanding of how subduction zones form; it assumes that they occur when oceanic crust becomes old and dense enough, while current evidence suggests they form around pre-existing zones of weakness like strike-slip faults or deactivated divergent plate boundaries.

[@poopscoop9016]

Wow. Ngl, kinda disappointing that Africa likely won’t split in two along the rift, I always thought that was dope

[@jeremiahmiller6431]

My problem with Scotese's model has always been the halt and reversal of Pacific subduction, a process that's already well underway with the East Pacific Rise almost entirely subsumed underneath NA by now.

[@NanobanaKinako]

If the last one, yes. Since Africa is already beginning to separate with the huge canyon form in Kenya.

[@Secret-ts8vn]

The third one is probably the most suitable continent for life in the future. Considering the sun’s luminosity is going to have increased by then, the equator would become way too hot, so most of the land being on the poles is the best

[@Civilized-Joke]

Not only do most continents converge around the arctic at Greenland for Amasia, you also have the Antarctic remaining over the south pole maintaining a higher albedo for the planet. Additionally the Amasia model while clumped together like Aurica and Nova Pangaea still has peninsulas that drop into the tropics and oceans that reach higher latitudes still in the north. Whether such a scenario happens or is close who knows, but the 3rd scenario is indeed the best one for a stronger sun.

[@thejuicyphantom2382]

But couldn’t that cause a runaway cooling affect possibly creating another snowball Earth?

[@Civilized-Joke]

@@thejuicyphantom2382 Perhaps, though it would be much harder to freeze the planet now let alone in a few 100 million more years. Although complex life couldn't survive another snowball Earth there would be potential for a bounce back. In a scenario where the planet overheats save for extremophiles that's game over.

[@ouroborosytp5908]

Nice ! My favorite thesis is Novopangea , why obeys the east Africa rifting, obeys the Mediterranean Sea closure and obeys the Atlântic ocean expansion.

[@Suvo-g5e]

It is the truth

[@idle_speculation]

The other rifts in the Afar triple junction are spreading faster though. The East African rift will probably become an aulacogen/failed rift

[@Sub2KingJawad]

i agree

[@vangvrak]

My favourite is Aurica because it follows the scenario of both the Atlantic and the Pacific closing and I find also find it really interesting that Eurasia splits.

[@AlfallMap]

Syntomapangaea is a supercontinent model I propose, it means "Soon all Earth". It is based off of Pangaea Proxima but with differences. The Eastern Atlantic becomes a separate plate and begins subducting under Europe and Africa East Africa becomes severed but eventually stalls and becomes a pseudo Madagascar in the Afroeurasian Plate Both sides of the Atlantic will develop subduction zones and island chains Antarctica is severed, West Antarctica becomes part of the South American Plate, East Antarctica eventually latches on to Afroeurasia's Indian Ocean subduction zone Syntomapangaea's forms around 0N/S 0E/W but eventually migrates to be a northern polar landmass

[@erikhernandez-robledo8433]

I'm more a fan of novopangea, because extroversion is more likely than introversion. The 5th model (amasia but better) is even likelier due to othroversion, and it's better than the original because Antarctica must move SOMEWHERE.

this looks like its modeled with gplates or a similar program. in gplates, you cant edit how the terrain looks until you go in and manually edit the year. when there are 200 years (in millions), its very hard to edit every one for realism, instead changing it every 50 million years or so

[@ThighFish]

That's probably a result of inaccurately preserving present-day national borders and island outlines.

[@terraspace1100]

Rift valley is present in Novopangea and my Amasia but not in the other Amasia and Aurica

[@maxvashakidze3207]

I mostly follow the Aurica hypothesis but with a few modifications. Based on the idea of the African Rift growing, both North and South. This would split Eurasia and Antarctica as well, forming a new Siberian Ocean. In addition, Nubia will merge with Eurasia enclosing the Black Sea and forming a Mediterranean Mountain range. Australia will dock with Eurasia around 100 million years from now when the Siberian Ocean first opens up. The new Australasia continent would begin moving farther south accelerating the closure of the Pacific while Chukotka attaches to Alaska, Similar to Scotese’s prediction, about 100-125 million years from now, the Atlantic will start to shrink with South and North America both approaching Nubia. Contrasting with Scotese the Australasian and Somalian continents will continue East to merge with the Americas on the West, South and North America will wrap around Western Nubia. Antarctica will be located on the southern edge of the landmass possibly scooped up by South America. This will likely be the last of the major landmasses to merge with the rest. Somalia will attach shortly after by about 300 million years from now, forming a modified version of Aurica. Now I just need to name it.

[@jayprotopapas]

But now they'll have to add a detail to the most plausible scenario here: the recently discussed Indian subcontinental re-detachment. PS: Aurica IMO is least likely because there's almost no tangible proof of the Baikal rift valley going full split mode. Plus, the west Gondwanaland (Africa/SA) re-visitation thing--minus the African Rift Valley split, yet--just seems like lazy conjecture. If the Mediterranean is gonna close to varying degrees in all 4 (5) possibilities regardless, how does this happen? Also, kindly notice that the Scotese model is the only one that shows the Iberian peninsula breaking off with Africa's northward push...as well as the aforementioned lack of the African rifting. Amasia ignores this, too. Finally---and oddest of all--is Scotese being the only one to include the San Andreas/Cascade fault system activity. After all, it is most likely to happen since tectonic activity is easier to predict with a more recent timescale. Thanks.

The Great Rift Valley is unlikely to break Africa in half because neighboring rifts are growing faster. Antarctica is barred from moving north by hot mantle plumes in the Pacific.
