The Mediterranean sea will become the Mediterranean mountains, possibly turning into a mountain range that would match the Himalayas, this could also contain the Sahara if it still remains as a desert from spreading further North.

So all continaents will become Pangaea once again? That's pretty insane. Just imagine the huge landlocked area that will be formed.

Things change but can sometimes change back. As this video indicates, Pangaea might’ve gradually broken into smaller continents, but that doesn’t mean that the continents can’t get back together, but by the time that happens, humans might become extinct!

Props to South America for staying relatively the same for a 150+ million years
@Electronick7714 1 year ago

With the australian continent pushing into southeast asia, the Himalayas will probably be insanely tall, even considering the erosion that would take place during the time. Not to mention africa pushing in from the west as well.

If YouTube and/or this video exists 250 million years from now, some interested viewers in that time period may want to look back 250 million years, to see how the earth looked, back then.
