Washington-SANA

Geologists from Harvard University in the US suggested that the date of the interconnectedness of the continents at the equator of the planet within 200 million years.

Science Magazine quoted scientists as saying that these continents are moving affected by the phenomenon of rock creep in a layer of earth, known as the mantle, which is a layer underground with a thickness of approximately 2885 km, where this level records a high temperature and interacting in the form of water in the boiling phase, explaining that The temperature in that region would cause the continents to displace over time.

Scientists have predicted, based on a scientific model based on plate tectonics, that within the next two hundred million years, the Eurasia mass (Europe and Asia) will collide with the American continent to create what can be called Amasia, where all the existing continents will return to docking with each other during the next two hundred million years except Antarctica.

Earth scientists say that the giant continents arise very slowly when one continent fuses with another, as this happens only once in every 600 million years.
