Answer: We know that the movement of tectonic plates is a continuous process. Divergent plates cause the ocean floor to expand. Because of slab pull, subduction, and other processes, the landmasses keep drifting. Because of these movements, continents are continually moving apart from each other. It’s possible that one day they will collide to form a giant landmass and become another Pangea.

Step-by-step explanation:

Currently our continents are move about 1-2 inches towards each other every year. over the course of many years we could end up colliding with other contries which would cause new mountain ranges and another supercontinent.
