In a unified Pangea again? probably not, but the plates we all ride around on are always moving and colliding... we can thank the India subcontinent's intrusion into China for things like Mount Everest... Italy's collision with Europe for the Alps, etc.

If you wait around long enough, Iceland might even become as large as Australia and its own continent while Africa will be torn in half with a whole new ocean in between just as South America and Africa used to be one massive continent. Who knows how many small islands and subcontinents have been scraped off the Pacific plate and smushed into North America forming the Rocky Mountains. The original coastline (in Canada at least) used to be almost all the way to the border of Alberta... all the rest of British Columbia is a mixture of rock types from all over the original Pacific Ocean (many of which contain tropical fossils and fractured beaches).

We could also wait til the next ice age when the sea levels drop and reveal the continental shelves like the one between Russia and Alaska that used to be a marshy Boreal forest and grassland prarrie for a time.

the 1st Biblical connection with a rainbow is interior the account of the covenant God made with Noah and his offspring after the Flood survivors got here out of the ark. (Ge 9:8-17; Isa fifty 4:9, 10) This stunning sight of itself could have been reassuring and a demonstration of peace to Noah and his family individuals. Many critiques have been provided to no count if this became the 1st time human beings observed a rainbow. some commentators have held that rainbows have been considered earlier and that God’s ‘giving’ the rainbow as we talk became fairly a ‘giving’ of specific meaning or importance to a till now contemporary phenomenon. a lot of those preserving this view have self assurance that the Flood became purely interior of reach or did no longer significantly exchange the ambience. regardless of the certainty that, it fairly is the 1st point out of a rainbow, and if a rainbow have been considered earlier, there could have been no real tension in God’s making it an dazzling sign of his covenant. it could have been common, and not an substantial marker of a metamorphosis, of something new. The Bible would not describe the degree of clarity of the ambience merely previous to the Flood. yet curiously atmospheric situations have been such that, till a metamorphosis got here approximately whilst “the floodgates of the heavens have been opened” (Ge 7:11), no others earlier Noah and his family individuals had considered a rainbow. Even as we talk, atmospheric situations influence no count if a rainbow could nicely be considered or no longer. the honor, attractiveness, and peacefulness of a rainbow that seems after a hurricane are drawn upon in Biblical descriptions of God and his throne. In Ezekiel’s inventive and prescient of God, the prophet observed “something like the visual charm of the bow that happens in a cloud mass on the day of a pouring rain.” This emphasised “the honor of Jehovah.” (Eze a million:28) in addition, John observed Jehovah’s throne of majesty, and ‘around approximately it there became a rainbow like an emerald in visual charm.’ The restful emerald-green colour of the rainbow might have mentioned composure and serenity to John, and accurately so because Jehovah is the grasp of each situation, a dazzling Ruler. (Re 4:3) John additionally observed an angel with ‘a rainbow upon his head’ (Re 10:a million), that could advise that he became a undeniable representative of “the God of peace.”—very own residing house page 4:9.

There is a good chance that that very thing will happen.

I would not hold my breath for the exciting day of the land mass meeting, however. 30,000 years is a pretty long time to wait.

The Americas are moving West away from Europe and will eventually crash into Asia
Australia is moving North and will also crash into Asia.
Africa is spliting in half and both sides will meet Asia and Europe respectfully
Antarctica is also moving North and will eventually contact the other continents again
So....the answer is yes.
