Answer:

Philippines will join Southeasern China by then.

Explanation:

According to NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration the continents are constantly moving in a gradual process often referred to as plate tectonics. This process is believed will cause the continents to move and come closer in the distant future years.

By 25 million years to this period, it has been predicted that the Philippines, just like the way India has added to Asia about 50 million years ago, will move a bit upward and collide with southeastern China with little or no water between them.

At this period, the Australian continent will also be closer to them.

In 25 million years, the Philippines will most likely still be in the South China Sea but quite close to Mainland Asia

It is estimated that the Philippines are moving towards mainland Asia at a rate of 7 cm every year.

In 25 million years, it would have moved:

= 7 x 25 million

= 175 million cm

This is 1,750 km.

The Philippines current distance from the mainland is around 2,135 km.

We can therefore conclude that if the Philippines keeps moving at this rate, it will be quite close to the mainland in 25 million years but will not have joined it yet.
