25 million years from now (if we continue present-day plate motions) the Atlantic will widen, Africa will collide with Europe closing the Mediterranean, Australia will collide with S.E. Asia, and California will slide northward up the coast to Alaska.

If the continents will continue to move, try to predict the Philippines'

location 25 million years from now.​

  • Though the continents continue to travel in the identical direction as they are now, the Philippines' position will appear to remain unchanged, even if minor modifications have occurred. It would have migrated closer to the Pacific Ocean's center during that period.
  • Continents only move one to two inches every year, therefore any shift in location will go unnoticed by the majority of people.
  • Here are some of the reasons why I think the Philippines will shift closer to the Pacific Ocean's centre:

-The Atlantic Ocean is expanding.

-The Philippines' islands are situated on the border of the Eurasian plate.

-The Pacific plate's ocean bottom moves down beneath the Philippine plate.

-Under the Eurasian plate, the Philippine plate moves down. On its eastern side, the Pacific plate likewise sinks beneath the Nazca and Cocos plates.

  • The plates on that side of the planet and how they are related lead the Atlantic Ocean to expand. They occur as Divergent zones, rather than convergent borders like those on the Pacific plate's margins. Divergent boundaries continue to broaden the sea bottom by pushing out fresh earth, which causes the plates to drift apart.
