Indeed. And we haven't even begun the discussion of plate tectonics.
Science it quite sure that eventually, Los Angeles is going to be a
suburb of San Francisco. The question is how quickly and dramatically
the transition will take place. <g> And of course the Great Rift
Valley in Africa is slowly spreading to that one of these years, the
Red Sea actually will be a sea, maybe even the Red Ocean. And the
Hawaiian Islands are trending to the Northwest as I recall, meaning
that the existing islands will gradually cool and lose their appeal as
vacation hot spots long before new hot spots form in their wake.
I mean, what are we going to do about Continental Drift? I don't think
any existing treaties cover it. <g>
