Future of the Earth Project Part A: Next Supercontinent

Hey All-Stars!

So, here are resources to use to create a map of your future supercontinent.

Remember that a supercontinent is when all continental crust is combined into one continent.

Here is a map of the plates in their current locations:

Here is a map showing how the plates are moving:

Remember that your supercontinent needs to be based on the current direction of plate motion. Show the plate boundaries and direction of motion on your map. 

Here is one model that scientists have created predicting where the continents will end up:

NPR has some interesting resources too.
This site has information and videos about landforms at plate boundaries.

Here is a diagram showing landforms at plate boundaries:

Remember to label landforms on your map based on the direction of plate motion. 

Here is a beautifully created handmade map. It's for a different project, but it has the same basic components your map needs to have:
1) A title with the name of your supercontinent
2) A compass
3) A key
4) Colorful map

For extra credit you can create a 3-D map. Here is an example:

I'm excited to see your maps!!!
