Two hundred and fifty million years from now, all of the Earth's landmasses will come together to form a gigantic supercontinent. And it won't be the first times that it's happened. The supercontinent Pangaea, which gave us the dinosaurs, split up, but now scientists are able to reconstruct this distant past. Although unbelievable, this is the accepted journey our planet will take.
