1.8 Billion Years Of Continental Drift/Plate Tectonics [GPlates]

Remaster of one of my vids: Continental Drift Animation 350mya - Present. Music by Kevin Macleod.

I do wonder why so people blindly accept Alfred Wegener’s Pangea/Plate Tectonics theory: the continents slide over the planet's surface like they are performing a hoedown. Really? Ask a geologist how Pangea was first formed and you’ll be likely met with silence. Consider instead, Roberto Mantovani’s earlier 1889 theory: travelling through freezing space, the infant Earth (a molten lump of rock) started to cool, forming a crust over its entire surface. Over time, pressure from the trapped molten rock broke out through the weakest points in the crust, pushing that ancient landmass (the continents) apart and creating the fault lines we see today. The process continued, on and off, over millions of years and the Earth grew. Mantovani's theory claims that if you shrank down the Earth, all the continents would fit together entirely. Ask a geologist if this is true.

This is a little inaccurate, according to maps, North America is connected to South America. And also forgot Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines. But keep it up!

I have a question, how did you make this continental drift? Oh and also, great video!❤

One question, how do you pass the map to other projections?

I always thought that Pangea looks like a giant version of Saudi Arabia

So, Australia is one of the oldest pieces of land?
