One constant throughout the history of the planet is change. Mountains rise are are eroded. Continents drift apart and slam back together.

two million years is a drop in the bucket geologically speaking. It is speculated that the north american plate will drift east (about an 1" a year.) so in 2 million years, that'd be 2 million inches. or about 37 miles east.. Erosion causes great changes over time as well. No substantial feature changes will take place, except we will return to a ice age era (currently we are in an interglacial period indicative of warming, and ice sheet retreats.. In the 180,000 year cycles of ebb and flow of the ice sheets we are getting closer to the sun at this point, do the math to see where our planet would be in the ice cycle, in 2 million years.

Will humans be part of the planet in 2 million years? Could be, or could not. It's likely some evolution of us will exist and maybe not on this planet. Perhaps terraforming of Mars will have re-established it's climate. Ideally the earth is at a distance from the sun that provides the best option for life in this solar system for the next 15 billion years until the sun goes super red.

In 40-50 years I won't care. In a hundred to a hundred and 20 years people born today won't care either.
