Bonus question: would this make a new continent?

[–] Gladaed@feddit.de 11 points 4 months ago

No, it would not. There already are waterways splitting North America into multiple large pieces.

Nope, the continental plate would not be separated by a river flowing over top.

Continents are not defined by tectonic plates, for example Eurasia is separated by an imaginary line. There is no universally agreed upon definition of what exactly earths continents are either.

We'd have to change all the names!

Canada's pants become Canada shorts and Canada socks

Yes, but not for slavery this time, but for fresh water in the decades ahead of climate change. Those freshwater Great Lakes will be awfully attractive 100 years from now.

The south doesn’t believe in climate change so they won’t mind right, right?
