Some 100 Million years in future, how would be our earth?

Question

what do scentists predict?

Answer 1

With surprising and mysterious regularity, life on Earth has flourished and vanished in cycles of mass extinction every 62 million years, say two UC Berkeley scientists who discovered the pattern after a painstaking computer study of fossil records going back for more than 500 million years.

Assumptions of climate change, such as the return of glacial conditions, must be made. This will bring ice sheets, new tills, and freeze-thaw weathering conditions. Sea level lowering will establish new base levels and produce worldwide fluvial incision.

Most dams occupy active channels that will be subjected to incision and higher stream flows. Reservoir overtopping will cause frequent dam failures. High stream discharge will remove most embankments, but remnants of massive concrete dams (Boulder) or masonry dams (Roosevelt), could survive. The second major reservoir failure mechanism will be deterioration and failure of the metal or concrete outlet works.

Weathering of building materials will drastically alter man-made structures. Concrete will crack and allow rebar to oxidize, destroying most concrete. Oxidation will destroy steel structures. No concrete or steel bridges will survive. Older structures like the Roman Aqueducts, which have survived for 2,000 years, will experience stone deterioration or seismic damage. Concrete and asphalt pavements will either crumble or be overgrown.

The Pacific Plate, with a slip rate of 25mm/year along the San Andreas fault, will move north 15½ miles relative to the American Plate. Palm Springs will be where San Bernardino used to be. Over 100,000 magnitude 6.0 earthquakes will occur. There will be hundreds of larger earthquakes. Few structures will be standing in Southern California. Mammoth Mountain will erupt and deposit tuff over western Nevada, central and southern California.

So what will survive? Large open pit mines in places such as Arizona will be lakes. The Egyptian pyramids, if not buried, will be minor topographic features. Aluminum soft drink cans and pieces of glass will remain. Many of these will be preserved in sanitary landfills. The future perception of the Earth’s surface will be radically different than our view today.

Answer 2

Even though the Sun will last 50 times longer than a "mere" 100 million years, it will slowly get brighter over time. Predictions I have seen say that within 100 million years the Sun will have gotten hot enough to boil away the oceans. However, as others have pointed out, 100 million years is a long time! By then we will either be extinct as a species or we will have technology to either move to another planet or even change the orbit of the Earth itself, and so save ourselves.

Answer 3

100,000,000 years is a short time in the life of a planet. The dinosaurs were here nearly twice that long. The Earth will end for certain when the Sun expands into a red giant star. That won't happen for at least 5,000,000,000 years which is 50 times longer than the period in your question. in a hundred million years, the tectonic plates will shift many times causing earthquakes, formation of new mountains, etc. The poles will shift. The Moon will become more distant and have less effect upon tides. Evolution will produce many new creatures, and existing species will become extinct. I won't try to predict the fate of Homo sapiens.

Answer 4

I don't know what the scientists predict but I predict this , If the sun undergoes some major changes , Or the earth's ozone layer gets destroyed then the earth would be as same as venus or mercury , if 2-3 planets are discovered in the middle of earth and venus then the earth would be in the 5or 6th place in the solar system !

or



simply ! DEAD

Answer 5

It depends on our actions today. This whole global warming may severely affect the earth. But for a more significant example take the following example...

Lets just say i drilled down as far as humany possible in millions of places on earth and planted a nuclear bomb (or some kind of high explosive bomb) in the holes. Now lets assume that i planted enough bombs with enough explosive force to completely crumble/destroy the earth. And i exploded the bombs!!! In a few seconds (or a year) the earth (as we know it) may not exist anymore.

I know it was an completely unrealistic example (with significant flaws) but i used it to basically say the earths future depends on the actions we make in the present.

Answer 6

It is said that 100 million years later, there will be no earth. The sun will explode and due to the heat the earth too, will not survive. Nor will there be any life left in the universe!

Answer 7

In less time than that the Sun will grow to a Red Giant when it runs out of hydrogen. When this happens Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars will be swallowed up. That's going to be a very hot day!!

Answer 8

one ingredient is for specific, if we live on the subsequent hundred years, human nature often is the comparable. the comparable desires that have existed because of fact the beginning up will nevertheless be with us. no remember how lots society and/or technologies variations, people would have the ability to the comparable super deeds, the comparable evils, the comparable aims, the comparable emotions and the comparable cycle of destruction and rebuilding. i think we are in some unspecified time interior the destiny close to a remarkable international disaster (in all probability man made) and in a hundred years people would be rebuilding from what is going to take place over right here few an prolonged time. Or we as a species can opt for to disclaim our nature and pass removed from the destroy/rebuild cycle. that must be a feat on condition that that cycle has existed because of fact the 1st human walked the earth. it quite is all I ought to declare approximately that.

Answer 9

Please ask Sir Arthur C. Clarke, he is the appropriate person, who can answer this question, as he is the world's best Science fiction writer and inventor of Communication satellite. I am not joking, seriously ask him, he will answer you definitely. He is living in Colombo, Ceylon.

Best of luck

Answer 10

The Earth would become unlivable for the living beings of to day. Earth would be gaseous substance, a hot stuff. But, the Earth will continue to have its existence.
