Spain and Morocco, soon to be united?

The movement of tectonic plates could lead to the formation of supercontinents, scientists say, and estimate that Spain and Morocco, and by extension Europe and Africa or the two shores of the Strait of Gibraltar, will collide within 250 million years.

According to a study by the University of Bristol published in the scientific journal Nature, the planet will have a new appearance in 250 million years due to the shrinking of the Atlantic Ocean and the fusion of the Afro-Eurasian continent with the Americas. In this dynamic, Spain and Morocco could merge and create a supercontinent. In about 12 million years, the coasts of eastern Andalusia will have already merged with those of Morocco and Algeria, relays The Ceuta Lighthouse.
