Eurafrasia
Eurafrasia is a supercontinent and the world's largest landmass, containing around 85% of the World population. It is typically subdivided by the Suez Canal into the continents of Africa and Eurasia, the latter of which has been historically further subdivided into Europe and Asia. Historians of the cultural materialism school may subdivide it into Eurasia-Northern Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, based on differing agricultural systems and other differences.
Geology
In geological terms, Africa-Eurasia (or Eurafrasia) will be a supercontinent when Africa collides with Europe. This is estimated to happen over 600,000 years from now, when the southern tip of Spain reaches Africa. When this happens, the Mediterranean Sea will be isolated from Atlantic Ocean. Africa is expected to collide with Europe completely over 50 million years from now, closing the Mediterranean, and creating new, future mountain ranges (with an addition to the Alps), which might be called the Mediterranean Mountains
