North America is currently shifting towards Asia and will most likely collide with the continent. Africa is currently shifting towards Europe and will collide into it, as well as Asia. This will make the Mediterranean Sea disappear and will form a large mountain range in its place.

The continents of North America and Africa are moving apart due to the process of plate tectonics. This movement is creating new oceanic crust in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, causing the two continents to drift away from each other at a rate of a few centimeters per year. This process is called seafloor spreading.
