Did you know the next supercontinent is already in the works? Scientists believe that over millions of years, Earth’s tectonic plates will shift again to create a massive landmass.

This isn’t happening tomorrow, though—it’s a process that could take 200-300 million years! When it does happen, it’ll totally change climates, ecosystems, and even the way we navigate the planet.
