Is it possible for global warming to speed up the supercontinent formation?

Posted at: 2015-03-12 
No.

Continental movement is caused by temperature differences in the core of the earth.

There's nothing at all that anyone can do on the surface that will affect that.

And, it will be hundreds of millions of years, maybe more than a billion years before there's a new super-continent.

For comparison, human beings have existed on earth less than 1/2 a million years.

If I were you, I'd check where I read that.

It would appear that they're leading you astray.

Global warming isn't caused by humans the planet is cooling down and was hotter thousands of years ago. The sun go's through cycles which causes the planet to get cooler or hotter. Next time someone says beware of climate, point at that huge star in the sky that gives of heat and say there's the cause of climate change.

Well I believe the Earths tectonic plates move at their own rate, and another supercontinent would billions in the future not millions, I cannot imagine any force strong enough to influence that excepting perhaps some huge change in the sun and earths magnetic fields.

No, even the maximum possible changes in climatic temperatures are insignificant compared to the geothermal forces driving plate tectonics.

No. Global average temperature does not effect plate tectonics.

No. Air and water temperature will not effect tectonic activity.

Is there ANYTHING that AGW can`t do?

no

According to the articles I've read, the supercontinent like Amasia will form millions of years from now. But can extreme climate conditions speed up that formation? If not, what could be the other factors that could drastically increase land movement?

(Sorry if it's vague but I hope you get my point. I'm just really curious. And please correct me if I got the wrong info.

Thank you.)
