    The world will be covered with a whole new set of life forms, humans will be long gone, and there will be no evidence that we ever existed.

      I hope at least some info about how we all died out of the greed of the few and inability of many to understand who the real enemy is

      They’ll be fossils and a band of pollution akin to the oxygen catastrophe.

      this made me realize how great this map would be for an alternate history or fantasy setting

      the mountain range between north america and africa creates the super interesting situation where the sides are almost entirely separated save for the coast and a teensy tiny bit near cape town that’s sort of crossable, so the coast would see an insane amount of traffic and i could see there being a capital nestled in the mountains next to the passage to cape town.
      And of course the indian ocean would be where basically everyone lives, as others have said.

        I DMed a D&D campaign a few years ago for which I drew a map that was just North America with the water level up 300 meters and rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Nobody noticed it after I let the characters discover the map.

        The English language has words and grammar for speculation, “will” is not one of them.

    It’s comforting to see that the large cities will still exist in 250 million years.

      Note it doesn’t say they’re still populated…

    I thought the pacific was getting smaller and the Atlantic was getting larger? I would expect the America’s to meet with east Asia.

      From what the wikipedia page tells, under this hypothesis atlantic will stop widening in about 125 millions years, and begin to shrink.
