Question

If the rate and direction of plate movement remain the same for the next 50 million years, what would then be an accurate prediction?

Answer 1

If current plate motions continue, the Atlantic will widen, Europe and Africa will clash to seal off the Mediterranean, Australia and South East Asia will merge, and California will drift northward up the coast to Alaska in 50 million years from now.

In 150 million years, when new subduction zones along the eastern coastlines of North America and South America start to consume away at the ocean bottom that currently divides North America from Africa, the Atlantic Ocean may start to close.

As the Atlantic ocean continues to be subducted, "Pangea Ultima" may form 250 million years from now. There could be a little ocean basin trapped inside the core of this supercontinent.
