The relentless tectonic collision between the African and Eurasian plates is slowly crushing the Mediterranean Sea out of existence. As Africa pushes northward at a rate of roughly an inch per year, this massive geological shift will eventually form a brand-new supercontinent known as Eurafrica. Geologists predict that within 50 million years, towering mountain ranges taller than the Himalayas will completely replace the current coastlines from Spain to Turkey. This monumental continental drift event will utterly transform global ocean currents, drastically altering Earth's climate and creating vast, unforgiving deserts where deep blue waters once thrived. Click the video to explore the dramatic geological forces wiping out the Mediterranean Basin and discover exactly what our planet's map will look like in the distant future.
