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. :)
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed around 300 million years ago. It eventually broke apart into the continents we have today due to the movement of tectonic plates. The continents have since drifted to their current positions, shaping the Earth's geography.
Pangaea
When Pangaea split in two, there where two island landmasses. The Northern landmass was Laurasia. The Southern landmass was Gondwanaland.
Alfred Wegener named his single land mass the Urkontinent or Pangaa. This has passed into general use as Pangaea.
In the hypothetical scenario of Pangaea Ultima, where the continents merge into a supercontinent, the Philippines would likely be situated near the equator, possibly towards the eastern edge of the supercontinent. This positioning would expose the archipelago to tropical climates and rich biodiversity, similar to its current environment. Geological activity could also increase due to tectonic movements, potentially affecting the region's landscape and ecosystems. However, the exact location and impact would depend on the dynamics of plate tectonics over millions of years.
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.
In the Pangaea Ultima scenario, the Philippines is expected to be located near the North Pole as part of the supercontinent that forms from the current tectonic plates converging over millions 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.
It doesn’t!
aye very big kindom
I believe its called Pangaea Ultima.
In the Pangaea Ultima theory, the Philippines is projected to be located in the northern hemisphere, adjacent to East Asia. It is estimated to be situated closer to Japan and Taiwan in this supercontinent configuration.
Pangaea Ultima is a potential future supercontinent concept where all continents on Earth would merge back together into one vast landmass. It is a theoretical scenario based on the movement of tectonic plates over millions of years. However, it is not a certainty and may not happen for millions of years, if at all.
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago, while Panthalassa was the global ocean surrounding Pangaea. Pangaea eventually broke apart into the continents we have today, while Panthalassa's remnants are today's Pacific Ocean.
Yes, the formation of Pangaea Ultima is theoretically possible as tectonic plates continue to shift and move. It is projected to happen in around 250 million years based on current plate movements and geologic cycles, but it is important to note that this is a long-term prediction and subject to change based on new discoveries in plate tectonics.
Chattanooga would likely be located along the eastern coast of the supercontinent Pangaea Ultima. Its exact position would depend on the configuration of the continents at that time, but it would be in proximity to where North America is predicted to converge with Africa and South America in the future supercontinent.
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.
