Did you know the massive Pacific Ocean is slowly vanishing? While the Atlantic Ocean expands, the Pacific shrinks by about 1 inch (2–3 cm) each year, as the Americas drift west and Asia and Australia inch closer. This tectonic shift is driven by subduction—where the Pacific Plate dives beneath neighboring plates—fueling earthquakes and volcanic activity along the infamous Ring of Fire. In 200–300 million years, the Pacific will be gone, replaced by a new supercontinent called "Amasia." Imagine a future where you could drive from California to China—no ocean crossing needed. Earth’s geography is constantly evolving, and the biggest changes are yet to come. #map #maps #geography#pacificocean
