....According to some guy.


If you like maps, internet archive ha s a lot of them in various formats. This is from David Rumsey's collection.

 
We know that in the distant past, the world's land all consisted of a single continent that has been pushed apart by tectonic plate drift. Given that our earth is a sphere, if they keep spreading apart, they will eventually have to come back together again. So, a future map of the world is going to look a lot like a past map of the world, eventually.

Looking at it, I didn't realize that much of the Indian sub-continent was that far above current sea levels. Same with Australia.
