It’s common knowledge that the world’s continents were once all joined together before being split apart and settling in the way we recognise them now. However, did you know that they’re working their way back together?
In about 220 million years the Atlantic Ocean will cease to exist thanks to the continents of North and South America merging with Europe and Africa making one giant chunk of land. What are currently beautiful sandy beaches on the east coast will be another more than a massive mountain range millions of years from now!
While this is something that is happening very gradually and won’t be seen in our lifetime, it’s still makes us want to suddenly take advantage of those lovely beaches and see the Atlantic Ocean before it gets covered up by land!
