The document discusses plate tectonics, including how plates move at a rate of one to two inches per year due to forces like thermal convection, ridge push and slab pull, which have built mountains and split continents while also causing faults and earthquakes, and how continents will eventually merge into a supercontinent called Pangea ultima in 250 million years.

11-Persistence

Plate move at a rate of one to two inches (three to five centimeters) per year. The causes of plate
movement, including thermal convection, ridge push and slab pull. Such forces have built mountains and
split continents. They have also caused faults, cracks in the earth's crust. Shifts along a fault can also
cause earthquakes or violent jolts in the area around it. Plate tectonics cause folding of rock layers into
mountains.

The Diagram I did is only 500 years form now every continent is move closer to each other but 250
million tears form now all the continent will merge again as a super continent that continent is called
Pangea ultima.
