Pangea Proxima ... is a possible future supercontinent configuration. Consistent with the supercontinent cycle, Pangea Proxima could form within the next 250 million years. ... In the Pangea Proxima scenario, subduction at the western Atlantic, east of the Americas, leads to the subduction of the Atlantic mid-ocean ridge followed by subduction destroying the Atlantic and Indian basin, causing the Atlantic and Indian Oceans to close, bringing the Americas back together with Africa and Europe. 2, record 1, English, - Pangea%20Proxima
