According to the theory of plate tectonics, 250 million years ago all of earth’s landmasses were clustered into one supercontinent, known as pangea. based on the past and current movements of earth’s plates, predict how the location of the continents might shift during the next 250 million years. do you think they’ll spread out, cluster together, or move in a combination of the two? what types of landforms do you anticipate forming as a result? what effect, if any, do you anticipate this movement will have on life on earth?

The following can be said about the shifting of continents in the next 250 million years and it’s effects on various factors:As far as the divergent or convergent shifting of the continents is concerned, it can be said that there are possibilities of both the spreading out and the clustering together of the continents. This can be said from the current evidence available of the movement of some continental plates towards and away from each other.The landforms that the spreading out continents would form would be that of sea coasts and the ones formed by clustering together continents would be that of large mountains or plateaus.This movement would not have any major effect on the life on earth as this movement is currently happening at an extremely slow pace.
