No idea how accurate this is, but it's still a pretty cool thought experiment.
Massimo Pietrobon made a map of what Pangaea, the original supercontinent that existed 300 million years ago, would look like if it had stayed connected.
It's pretty fascinating to imagine how strange that world would have been. The US right next to Morocco and Mauritania. Travel time between Indonesia and Australia would be insufferable. Certain landlocked countries would find themselves next to the water. This might make for a really cool sci-fi premise for any sci-fi readers out there.
