Continental drift after 250 million years
Continental drift after 250 million years, showing the supercontinent of Pangea Ultima, which was named for the ancient supercontinent of Pangea. Pangea began to break up some 200 million years before the modern era, and around 450 million years before the formation of Pangea Ultima. Some of the shapes of todays continents are still visible. Several such supercontinents have formed in the 4.5-billion-year history of the Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable phenomenon of continental drift after 250 million years. Known as Pangea Ultima, this supercontinent derived its name from the ancient supercontinent of Pangea that existed millions of years ago. The gradual breakup of Pangea began around 200 million years before our modern era and approximately 450 million years prior to the formation of Pangea Ultima. In this stunning illustration, we witness how some present-day continents still bear remnants of their original shapes. The artwork depicts a futuristic vision where European, Australian, African, Asian, South American, and North American landmasses are interconnected on a white background. This thought-provoking image provides valuable insights into the geological history and global geography of our planet. Throughout Earth's extensive 4.5-billion-year timeline, several such supercontinents have emerged and dispersed due to plate tectonics and continental drift. By examining this mesmerizing portrayal closely, one can appreciate the immense forces at play beneath our feet that shape our world over vast spans of time. This awe-inspiring print is part of Science Photo Library's collection and serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing exploration and understanding of Earth's ever-evolving landscapes.
