What happened to Mexico? I guess probably no need for it by then.

America and Eurasia will crash into each other over the north pole in 50-200 million years time, according to scientists at Yale University.
They predict Africa and Australia will join the new "supercontinent" too, which will mark the next coming together of the Earth's land masses.
The continents are last thought to have come together 300 million years ago into a supercontinent called Pangaea.
Details are published in the journal Nature.
The land masses of the Earth are constantly moving as the Earth's as tectonic activity occurs. This generates areas such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where Iceland has formed, and areas such as that off the coast of Japan, where one plate rides over another.
Geologists believe that, over billions of years, these shifting plates have driven the continents together periodically, creating the hypothesised supercontinents of Nuna 1.8 billion years ago, Rodinia a billion years ago, and then Pangaea 300 million years ago.
The next supercontinent has already been given the working title of Amasia, as it is expected to involve the convergence of the Americas and Asia.

Just think of all the Eurasisn women who be within walking distance then.:)
Will this be before or after the rapture?
“Reunite Pangea!”
The bad news...obama will probably still be the president; Good news: a lot of new people for him to tax.
Start printing Amaseros.

Pangea for Pangeans! End the oppressive geochemical cycle!
I guess I won’t be surfing the OBX of NC anymore.....

We’ve always been at war with Eurasia.
Just as likely that Neal Adams is right and they’ll move further apart - http://www.nealadams.com/nmu.html - the “Expanding Earth” hypothesis.
Or that the late Tom VanFlandern was right and the whole bloody planet will explode, leaving nothing but a new ring of asteroids.
“Scientific” certainties bug me no end...
RAMMING SPEED!!!
We have always been allied to Eurasia
Here is a much more complete story, including a billion year time track video. Please forgive Huff Post.
