This scenario is one possible projection; it assumes the eventual development of a subduction zone in the West Atlantic that would overcome the spreading at the mid Atlantic ridge, eventually sealing the basin. I don’t understand the mechanisms well enough to know how that prediction was made, so someone with more experience on the subject can chime in.
