Why Earth has a supercontinent cycle

837 views

It’s been estimated that in all of Earth’s history, there have been 7 supercontinents, with the most recent one being Pangaea.

The next supercontinent (Pangaea Ultima) is expected to form in around 250 million years.

Why is this the case? What phenomenon causes these giant landmasses to coalesce, break apart, then coalesce again?

Follow up question, will the landmasses break apart differently next time around? And IF countries still exists, will we have to fight over territories again?
