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

Millions of years to shift a continent dudes.

Millions of years to shift a continent dudes.

This and this and this again. I think it's just a oversight from DE.

[(PSN)IIIDevoidIII]

Sure, the continents will move, but not enough to be recognizable globally, however areas like Florida will be underwater quite soon.

Millions of years to shift a continent dudes.

But are you sure we slept for millions of years (or the Warframe universe is set millions of years into the future)?

[Sixty5]

The continents are in roughly the same place now as they were a million years ago. At a couple of centimeters a year it takes an awful long time to make a real difference in how the earth looks.

WARFRAME. the game where humanity' fate is dependent on.

so i'm guessing we human will be the tenno after *insert year here* right?

 

game-logic =/= real life logic.

[RavenousPartyLibrarian]

There is a lot of talk about millennias in game. For all we know the Orokin might have done something drastic with the climate, to go with those mutated trees. I think whatever has changed on the planet is somewhat justified.

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

 

True. Only change that could be possible after few thousand years would be at least climate change on several continents. No continent movements! NO!

I have the answer to everything

I have been looking at the in game globe of earth for a while now.

It is definitely not looking much like present day Earth.

North America is tilted, Africa is completely sideways, most of Europe all of South America and Antarctica are missing, India looks like it's smooshed against Asia , and Australia is almost in the south pole. Visible changes that extreme can take 50 million years or more.

[RoboDoge]

Couple of thousands years is nothing in terms of continetal movement. As far as i know, Africa is moving towards South America by 4 cm per year. That is like 40 m per 1 000 years.

[D3ST]

 It does seem to be some millions of years in the future, judging from the earth changes...

Races does however change over millions of years, more than Grineer/Tenno/corpus seems to have changed,

 

However we all know the level of realism DE put into their game, (Surv. missions on earth for starters)

Well, looks like Africa has officially lost it's pants, or that could be that due to the image of the continents slowly fading in as we turn the planet, maybe it is making Africa's pants invisible and South America look like it has either been engulfed by waves or has literally been taken by Aliens....as if Africa already wasn't a laughing stalk already, the Tenno and probably the universe are making fun it for it's lose of lower body clothing.

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"?

 

For an ice age to cover canada it could happen in a few thousand years (ignoring the principle that the Orokin were capable of changing climates on a planetary scale) because all that is needed is some ice cover, not necessarily kilometers of ice. The entirety of the last ice aqe was just under 100,000 years and it only took about 20k years for the ice to drop from its peak level to the end of the ice age.

 

Over a couple of thousand years the geographic differences would be noticeable as plates would have moved a few tens of  metres, but the difference would not be visible from space.

We're supposed to be in an ice age now, but global warming is holding it back.

 

Perhaps the ice age overcame global warming and on "Warframe's Earth" the ice is beginning to melt, showing new forms of large thick trees and animals which seem to have warm coats (Kubrows).

 

Just a thought.

[Implodingbanana]

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?

it seems that the USA became mostly desert

We don't know what the Orokin and Grineer have done to the place. The Orokin supposedly released fast-growing plant life to deny use of the planet, and the Grineer are hyper-industrialized and don't seem to care for the environment much. 

[DuRockBR]

Where is South America? :O

Fuk I'm dead .-.

[Gammaion]

Plates take millions of years to form into different shapes.

 

Earth is likely in another ice age in the Warframe universe, due to the vast amount of ice covering the northern parts of the globe.
