Where are the American continents being separated from the African and Eurasiann continents?

Continental drift is causing North America to separate from Europe and Africa even further, and ultimately will either connect with Asia or be unbelievably close. South America will still be connected to North America, however, it will tilt east and will look as if it is being attracted to Africa. Africa will collide into Eurasia, making one giant supercontinent once again, Afro-Eurasia [as it is called today as well].
