TL;DR
- Earth is projected to form a new supercontinent, "Pangea Ultima" or "Pangea Proxima", in 250 million years.
- Current oceans will drastically change, with some potentially disappearing and others transforming.
- Global temperatures are expected to rise, with some regions exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, creating hostile environments.
- The interior of the supercontinent will be arid with water scarcity and high volcanic activity.
- Regions at higher latitudes on the continent's edges may offer more moderate conditions, serving as climate refuges.
- The extreme conditions could lead to a new mass extinction event, comparable to past biological crises.
- The Earth is presented as a dynamic system in constant transformation, with continents, oceans, and climates being transient stages.
