Couple Thousand Years Into The Future, Don't You Think Earths Continents Would Have Moved By Now?

[Z3ROWOLFHD]

Like, why is California still on the in-game globe thing(y?)

 

Edit: After looking some more, ice has already progressed onto the edge of the Canadian-American border.

cuz murica.

[vaugahn]

We have no idea how far into the future warframe is, and a measly few thousand years wouldn't change the continents at all

[RahuHordika]

You're confusing thousands of year with millions, there wouldn't be any big difference from today.

Look at my edit, how long was it for how the rotations are for ice ages or whatever?

Canada is covered in ice.

For an ice age, hundreds of thousands of years. Could be more or less depending on what the grineer have done to the planet.

 

The geologic time scale is incomprehensibly vast, even after all that time the continents wouldn't have visibly changed

 

Edit: what do you mean by "rotations are for ice ages or whatever"?

Pretty much this exactly. There might be a change in climate, like areas covered in ice or ice covered areas now being deserts, But, in terms of actual continental shift there would be practically 0 change as that takes millions of years not thousands.

isn't that "normal" ?

[Alphafox]

isn't that "normal" ?

28°C right now. So no.

[fishworshipper]

The Warframe universe is FAR beyond a "couple thousand years," from now based on what I've heard and seen.

Does this look like present day to you? (Those are not clouds, they do not move.)

 

 

If we had someone knowledgeable enough to explain, couldn't we guess the average time for what Warframe is actually set place in?

From the title of the thread and what you have asked, you might have mistaken continental shift with the ice-age. If you are talking about continental shift, that would take millions of years before any noticeable changes happen.

 

It had taken roughly 100 million years for Pangaea to break into the contemporary continents.

From what i can see South America is not there anymore(or it became a bunch of small island's. Looking at this on moblie so it's not the most accurate) So yeah the map has been changed.

Even hundreds of thousands of years would make no difference. Our continents haven't changed significantly since the end of the paleozoic. Edit: maybe it was the proterozoic...been a while since I've taken geology. Anyways, long time. Super long time.

 

Also as for the earth map, we can't really guess how far in the future it is due to the Orokin and the Grineer screwing up the planet

its 2 million years in the future we do know

[EverythingNagato]

Continents move approximately .06 inches a year.
5000 years later, they would have moved 300 inches.
Or 25 feet.

That's not very much.
That's 7.6 meters for the rest of you.


OP, have you taken geography yet?

[Renegade343]

7.6 meters is quite a bit, but since it moves so slowly, we can never feel it or see it through the naked eye if we were to look at it every day.

How do we know that?

[Wustinhurf]

I live in canada.

Canada is always covered in ice.

[Renegade343]

How do we know that?

A RNG program I made up in ten minutes.

Wait what?

You asked, "How do we know Warframe is set 2 million years into the future?". 

 

So, the answer is determined by a RNG program I made up in ten minutes.

Ok, maybe I should have worded my post better. As someone said, South America is underwater, and Canada is covered in glacier more white than normal.

Uh yeah I got that, the wait what was more wondering how exactly you arrived at that conclusion
