I'm unsure of key terms to search for, however, and I don't want to bog down the server with a monster query to find it.My speculation is that the concrete structures would last longest; cities inside of 100 years would look close to the same, minus some of the taller buildings that fell due to lack of repair and maintenance. Suburban areas would be largely overgrown. I know what our house looks like if we don't do lawn care and maintenance in a couple months' time - all yards with live grass would be knee-high grasslands, and vines could cause massive structural damage within just a decade or two.But even 10,000 years isn't enough to have any kind of massive mutation with animals going on - but by 10,000 years, I would say even the cities would be enormous piles of concrete sand. They would be literally buried by eroded material from other buildings - you would have a literally buried city, with some sewers still open and viable, but likely bone-dry, and some sections cut off due to collapse. Cities by a sea or lakeside could possibly be underwater in 10,000 years, as sea levels change.</blockquote>
