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.

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.

The mongols would rule the shit out of this supercontinent

It's good to know Brexit is only temporary.

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.

Apparently New Zeland is still off the map... Just like nowadays.

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.

Pacific Ocean feeling pretty smug right now about maintaining its status as the largest ocean.

Solves the Florida problem at least.

Imagine the high speed rail network 🤤

Appalachia out here like "it's been long enough. it's time i got huge again"

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
alhamdulilah the middle east is now the Middle BEACH baby right there on the Indian Ocean
- Amin ya rabbi 🥰
Probably around Cairo

Americans still won’t want to visit anywhere else…

Florida stuck it in Africa and made the new highest point.

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

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

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.

Imagine the high speed rail opportunities

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

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.
