<B> Explanation: </B>
Is this what will become of the Earth's surface?  
The surface of the 
<A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/earth.html">Earth</A> is broken up into several 
<A href="http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/tectonics.html">large plates</A> that are slowly shifting.  
About 250 million years ago, the 
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techtonic_plates">plates</A> on which the 
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continents">present-day continents</A> 
rest were positioned quite 
<A href="http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/techist.html">differently</A>, so that all the landmasses were clustered together in <A href="http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/dec98/913866772.Sh.r.html">one supercontinent</A> now dubbed 
<A href="http://www.scotese.com/newpage8.htm">Pangea</A>.  
About 250 million years from now, the 
<A href="http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/tecmech.html">plates</A> are again projected to reposition 
themselves so that a single landmass dominates.  
The above simulation from the 
<A href="http://www.scotese.com/research.htm">PALEAOMAP Project</A> shows this giant landmass: 
<A href="http://www.scotese.com/future2.htm">Pangea Ultima</A>.  
At that time, the 
<A href="https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/zh.html">Atlantic Ocean</A> will be just a distant memory, 
and whatever beings inhabit Earth will be able to walk from <A href="http://library.thinkquest.org/26026/World_Outlook/north_america.html">North America</A> to 
<A href="http://www.nsrc.org/codes/bymap/africa.html">Africa</A>.
