Full description of the 4 main layers of the Earth

 Crust - Earth's crust disperses or separates and travels away from each other before they
come together again after another 400-600 million years. The earth's crust shifts in
comparison to each other, around 1 inch or 2.5 cm per year because of this the Pangea
Ultima would be formed in 5050, taking together Europe and Africa as a large continent
surrounded by the Pacific Ocean.
o Oceanic crust – constantly formed at mid-ocean ridges made by basal salt rocks
presently it is 5-10 kilometers oceanic crust but will extend up to 50-60
kilometers as more magma that wells up from these rifts in Earth’s surface cools,
and becomes young oceanic crust in 5050.
o Continental crust – made of granite rocks called “sial” usually as thick as 70
kilometers, in 5050 the thickness of the continental crust could be more that 150
kilometers with the constant moving of the tectonic plates that could form new
mountains.
 Mantle – Earth’s mantle in 5050 will still be largest and still made by solid rock but will
be less dense would have cooled down from today’s 1000° Celsius (1832° Fahrenheit)
near its boundary with the crust, to 3700° Celsius (6692° Fahrenheit) because at a rate of
6 to 11 degrees Celsius every 100 million years the mantel cools down.
 Core- today, inner core is a sphere of solid iron, while the outer core is made of molten
iron thousands of kilometers thick. In 5050 the earth’s outer core would also have slightly
solidify and lower its temperature by 30-50 degrees and would be the reason why the
earth’s climate will change and it will slightly grow because of the change In the inner
core which is the solid ball inside the earth, the inner core will slightly slowed down its
spinning causing the lower temperature of both inner and outer core.

Description of the present and predicted location of the continents

Today, the Earth's seven major land groups are from the highest to the smallest: Asia , Africa,
North America , South America, Antarctica, Europe , and Australia. Together, the continents measure
about 148 million square kilometers but continents move at 1/2 to 4 inches (1.3 to 10 centimeters) per
year and in 5050 it is predicted that earth’s crust will form a Pangea which will ring the continents
back together North America will shift westward, while Europe and Asia will shift eastward, and
perhaps even southward, pushing Britain closer to the North Pole and Siberia southward to hotter,
subtropical latitudes. Africa will collide with Europe and Arabia. While Australia is predicted to be
closer to South East Asia. And Southern plus Baja California are predicted to have already collided
with Alaska with new mountain ranges formed between them.
