What will happen to the earth’s crust in the future?

Answer 1

There is no reason, scientific or other, to believe or expect any dramatic changes to the Earth's crust. Sure perhaps in a million years, but we are even sure humans will be around to notice.

There is one thing that can make a difference. A collision with some sort of space object, like asteroid. If it was large enough it certainly would impact the Earth's crust. As well as change climate.

Answer 2

There are many predictions about what will happen to the earth's crust in the future. Some of these are plate tectonics, drought, flooding, earthquakes, threat of exploding bombs. Some other theories might be: harvesting of the earth's natural resources by aliens, spontaneous cottage-building by elves or dwarves, or the spontaneous conversion of the element of earth into water so there would be many more springs and lakes and seas. As far as fault lines and plate tectonics go, I am making a guess (I am no experienced psychic) . . .Nov. 17, 2007 the big one in California. About eighteen years from now one in Australia.

Answer 3

Define future.

For all intents and purposes it will continue to be subjected to the internal forces of plate tectonics and the external forces of erosion and weathering and what ever man does to as long as he is here. It will keep doing this until the sun consumes Earth, or until all of the radioactive matter in Earth has decayed and all the heat is lost.

Answer 4

same ole same ole. erosion, sedimentation, lithification, subduction, partial melting, migration, uplift, downwarping, fracturing, creation and destruction (well, changes in chemistry and mineralogy and state). If you want a more specific answer you might want to ask a less general question.

Answer 5

Eventually we'll go the way of Mars.
