Presentation transcript:

 Have you ever wondered if the countries will ever all come together creating one big supercontinent? NASA has found that it will. They say that it will happen in about 250 million years. This is possible because of continental drift; which is when the continents move.

 When Pangea happens in the future there will be many benefits. One benefit is that all people will either learn multiple languages or they will all have the same language. This will happen because everyone will be next to each other and they will have to be able to communicate with each other. This is our tomorrow. Another benefit of Pangea happening again is that everyone will have access to equal amounts of food because all of the sources of food will also be connected. This is our tomorrow. One more benefit of Pangea happening again is that everything is equal; no one country would be left out. This is because when one country gets more of something, the other countries would find out because they are all connected. This is our tomorrow.

 A disadvantage would be that there will be more wars. This is because the countries would be closer together and it will be easier to make people angry or upset. Another disadvantage of Pangea is that technology won’t advance as fast. This is because people won’t be focused on working and creating new things, they will be focused on learning languages for communicating with others or at war with someone. One more disadvantage is that the world would have only one type of money. This would cause all the other money to become obsolete and would eventually have to be destroyed.

 Some reasons that Pangea may end the world are that when the countries crash it makes deadly hot lava flow out. This would happen because the crust plates would push against each other and make a volcano. Another reason that Pangea may end the world is that when the countries crash, it causes a massive earthquake which could kill the people. The last reason that Pangea may end the world is that when the countries crash, it makes the world erode faster. I am sure that at some point time the world will end. Pangea is just one example of how things could end the world.

 Even though Pangea will be a bad thing, I think it would have more good than bad. On the other hand, if we could stop continental drift, then we may be able to make the world survive for a longer time. Then maybe we could find a new planet to live saving our race. It would be better to live than to learn a new language. (example)
