Most likely there will be. The Wilson Cycle requires about half a billion years to complete. My guess is that there is sufficient energy in earth's core from the slow decay of long lived isotopes to finish this cycle and start on the next.
We are perhaps half way through the current cycle. Another super continent should form within the next 250 million years. See Pangaea Ultima, Amasia or Novopangaea.
yes
The effect of a future Pangaea on the formation of coal will be that of a marked increase as continents collide against each other.
The formation of a future Pangaea will affect the availability of water for society by closing off the access to certain bodies of water.
pangaea is the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago, when all the continents were together in one large. supercontinent. Pangaea ultima is the supercontinent that is predicted to form in the next 250 million years. So to be simple, pangaea already happened and pangaea ultima is predicted to happen. :)
It is possible that Pangaea might happen again in around 250 million years from now and is planned to be called Pangaea Ultima, but no one knows for sure yet. It is only a possible future supercontinent.
It is unlikely for Pangaea to reform in the exact same way, as plate tectonics are constantly moving and changing the Earth's surface. However, continents continue to drift and merge over millions of years, so a supercontinent may form in the distant future.
In the Pangaea Ultima scenario, the Philippines would be located in a supercontinent that is predicted to form in the future. The exact positioning of the Philippines within Pangaea Ultima would depend on how the tectonic plates shift and come together over millions of years.
Understanding Pangaea is important because it provides evidence for the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates. The breakup of Pangaea has influenced the distribution of continents and oceans, as well as the evolution of life on Earth. Studying Pangaea helps scientists understand the Earth's geological history and predict future changes in the planet's landscape.
In the future, the continents in Pangaea are expected to continue moving due to plate tectonics. Over millions of years, the continents may drift further apart or come back together in a new configuration. This movement is a natural process that has been ongoing for billions of years.
It is likely that Pangaea Ultima will not be the last supercontinent, as the Earth's tectonic plates continue to shift and collide. Future supercontinents may form over millions of years as a result of this dynamic process.
Pangaea's
once but in the distant future the continents will thus drift together hence creating another supercontinent.
