what will happen in the next Billion Years?

Hi Dear Viewers today's Article is about future of Earth.
So let's get start,
 Humanity has been around for about 200,000 years and has experienced a massive amount of change already. From our starting point in Africa, we've managed to colonize the entire world at this point and even reached as far away as the moon. The Bering land bridge that once connected Asia and North America with one another has long since been submerged beneath the ocean, so if humanity exists for another billion years, then what additional changes or events can we reasonably expect to happen? Well, starting at about ten thousand years into the future, we will encounter the year 10,000 problem. Software that encodes the AD calendar year as a four digit decimal will no longer be able to encode dates starting at 10,000 AD. Iit will be a real Y10K, and in addition, if current trends of globalization continues, then human genetic variation will no longer be regionalised by this point, meaning that all human genetic traits like skin color and hair color will be evenly distributed across the world. 

*Seizure Warning* In 20,000 years from now future languages will only contain one out of every 100 core vocabulary words of their present-day counterparts. Essentially no modern language will be recognizable by this point. In 50,000 years earth will enter into another glacial period regardless of current global warming effects. Niagara Falls will have completely eroded away into Lake Erie and ceased to exist and due to glacial rebound and erosion. The many lakes of the Canadian Shield will also cease to exist. Also, one full day on Earth will have increased by one full second requiring a leap second to be added to every day.
 In 100,000 years for now the stars and constellations visible from Earth will be completely different than they are from today. Also, this is the estimated amount of time that it would take to fully terraform Mars into a habitable planet similar to the Earth. 
In 250,000 years, the Lo-ihi Volcano will rise above the surface and form a new island in the Hawaiian island chain. In five hundred thousand years from now Earth will have likely been struck by an asteroid measuring one kilometer in diameter unless humanity artificially prevents it. Additionally, the Bad lands National Park in South Dakota will have completely eroded away by this point.

 In 950,000 years the meteor crater in Arizona, which is considered the best preserved meteorite impact crater on Earth will have completely eroded away. in 1 million years Earth will have likely experienced a super volcanic eruption large enough to erupt 3200 cubic kilometers of ash, an event similar to the Toba super eruption 70,000 years ago that almost made humanity extinct. In addition, the star Betelgeuse will have exploded into a supernova by this point and the explosion will be easily visible from Earth even during the daytime.

 In 2,000,000 years, the Grand Canyon will have eroded even more significantly; slightly deepening, but it will mostly widen out into a large Valley. If humanity has colonized two different planets in the solar system and the universe by this point and the populations on each planet have remained separate from one another, then humanity will have likely evolved into various different species at this point. These different human species will be adapted to their different planets and may not be aware of the other human species located in the rest of the universe.
 in 10,000,000 years a large part of East Africa will split off from the rest of the continent. A new ocean basin will form between the two sides, and Africa will be divided into two separate land masses. In 50,000,000 years Phobos, a moon of Mars, will collide with the planet causing massive destruction there. Back on Earth, the remaining part of Africa will collide with Eurasia and close off the Mediterian Sea forever. A new mountain range similar in size to the Himalayas will form between the now connected land masses and may possibly produce a mountain that is higher than Mount Everest. 

In 60,000,000 years the Canadian Rockies will have completely eroded into a flat plain. In 80,000,000 years from now all of the Hawaiian Islands will have sunk back beneath the ocean, and in 100,000,000 years the earth will have likely been struck by an asteroid similar to the event that wiped out the dinosaurs 66,000,000 years ago, assuming of course that it isn't artificially prevented. In addition, at this point in the future the rings around the planet Saturn will no longer exist. In 240,000,000 years Earth will have finally completed one full orbit around the galactic center from its current position.

 In 250,000,000 years all of the continents on Earth will have fused together to form a super continent similar to Pangaea. A possible name for this continent is Pangaea Ultima and it will probably look something sort of like this image. 
Then, in 400,000,000 - 500,000,000 years the super continent will break apart once again.
 In 500,000,000 - 600,000,000 years a deadly gamma ray burst will likely occur within six-and-a-half thousand light years of Earth. If conditions are right, or wrong, if you prefer, the burst could strike Earth and severely damage the ozone layer which would cause a mass extinction event. 
in 600,000,000 years the moon will have moved far enough away from Earth that total solar eclipses will no longer be possible after this date. In addition, the sun's increasing luminosity will cause severe effects on Earth. Plate tectonic movements will stop at this point, and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere will decrease dramatically. C3  photosynthesis will no longer be possible at this point and 99% of current plant life on Earth will die. 
In 800,000,000 years CO2 levels will have continued to fall to the point where C4 photosynthesis will no longer be possible. Free oxygen and ozone disappear from the atmosphere, and all complex life on Earth will die. 
Finally in 1 billion years the sun's luminosity will have increased 10% from its current state. The surface temperature on Earth will rise to a sweltering 47 degrees Celsius on average. The atmosphere will turn into a moist green house, and the world's oceans will evaporate away. Pockets of liquid water may still exist at the Earth's poles, however, which means that they will probably become the last bastion of life on our planet. A lot will change over the course of a billion years but a lot has changed in the last billion years as well. 
Thank you

The Big Bang Theory (universe creation)

Hi viewers, today we will know about the Big Bang Theory by which universe was made.  The beginning of everything. The Big Bang. The idea that the universe was suddenly born and is not infinite. Up to the middle of the 20th century,most scientists thought of the universe as infinite and ageless. Until Einstein’s theory of relativity gave us a better understanding of gravity, and Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies are moving apart from one another in a way that fits previous predictions. In 1964, by accident, cosmic background radiation was discovered, a relic of the early universe,which together with other observational evidence, made the Big Bang the accepted theory in science. Since then, improved technology like the Hubble telescope has given us a pretty good picture of the Big Bang and the structure of the cosmos.   Recent observations even seem to suggest that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. But how did this Big Bang work? How can someth...

How The Sun Works

Hi readers you may be very eager to know that How Sun Works. Our sun is basically a giant nuclear reactor at the center of our solar system but not like the ones here on earth. They create energy by nuclear fission that is a split large atoms like uranium to smaller lighter one and in the process release the large amount of energy. Atomic bombs also work in the same way is a reason why they are so destructive. The Sun creates energy by nuclear fusion, the most efficient way to create energy in the universe other than matter-antimatter annihilation. Fusion works the other way around the fuses the nuclei or the center of atoms of the lightest and most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen together under enormous pressure and heat to create helium the second most abundant and lightest element in the universe. Again in the process of doing this, a huge amount of energy is released and this ultimately provides the energy for all life on earth.  Compared to t...

why Plane's Don't Fly Over The Pacific Ocean?

 Hello Dear viewers today we will know about why planes don't fly over the Pacific Ocean?  So let's get start, Why is my airline going out of its way to avoid the Pacific Ocean? Is this a mistake? Did I accidentally sign up for the caribouroute? At first you might think it was a safety issue. The Pacific is the largest and deepest of the world’s oceans.  If a plane encounters a problem over a seemingly endless and bottomless pond of water, the pilots are going to have a rough time finding  a safe spot to set her down. Alaska might not be over populated with international airports, but it’s a lot better than the middle of the ocean. How’s that for a tourism slogan? “Alaska, at least it’s better than sinking!” Okay, I apologize Alaska… Guessing that it was a safety precaution wouldn't be entirely wrong. When planning a route, many pilots prefer to maximize the number of airports along their path. Emergencies are incredibly rare relative to how many planes t...
