Thanks to Carl Davidson for the website!
God, this took forever to make.

I thought that I'd compile the entire history of Earth's continents (as best as I could).

Se mira 3.3 billón años de deriva continental. Créditos en el vídeo.
Ay Dios mio, éste vídeo necisita mucho tiempo.
Vídeo empezó: Enero 2, 2015
Vídeo terminó: Abril 20, 2015
Creo que compilaría entera historia del mundo (lo mejor como haría).
Continents of the past: Vaalbara, Ur, Kenorland, Arctica, Atlantica, Nena, Columbia, Rodinia, Pannotia, Pangaea/Pangea, Gondwana, Laurasia.

It's crazy how all of human history took place in less than a split second of this video
And prehistory too
I don't know if I should make a backwards version labeled + major city locations. Let me know if you guys want.
+Algol i want!
+Algol Yes!
+Algol Make it
+Algol How long will it take?
+Algol Yes. Please do. I went to the end, full-screened this, and then used my left arrow key and the space bar to go backward in steps. It helps a lot in understanding where the current layout came from. Cities and some island names would help too. ...... If you can, could you also project drift into the future, please?

Even worse considering that there was no multi cellular life at that point in earths history. There would be some oxygen to breathe although you realistically couldn't go too far from sea level and no ozone means you fry in the light.

There are some species of dinosaur that are really similar to birds (i think they're called "archaeopteryx").

Sorry, I only remember from trawling, and didn't save the site, so I cannot prove it, but it said there is a fault rift thru Sydney (Luna Park to Kiama) that was supposedly, made when NZ ripped away from eastern Australia. [but NZ and Sydney are so different landscapes??]

Man look at the journey of India it just flew from South to North just like that. It was quite remarkable. Most of the regions did the horizontal movement
That's why the Himalayas (home of Mt. Everest) are so tall. They're just rock that was pushed up by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.

You mean "Africa"?
Modern Eurasia as well as Africa eclipses many of the previous supercontinents, I genuinely think they should be classed as such.

thats because there was not much land back then, the americas, africa and eurasia are all too close in size

It's amazing how scientists can predict and retell what happened in the past, yet telling the weather is a pain. Something simple is harder to tell from something complicated.
I know, but it still is surprising.
SuperNova that is past not present
It's more like...you know the saying "Hindsight is 20/20"? It's like that.
The arrow of time is real. You cannot observe the future before it happens, only make predictions based off the best evidence of the past. Your predictions will only be accurate to the degree that you can control for variables.

This is our current calculation. But I just intuitively think people were born during Pangaea, and spread to all the continents, before we could build boats, and before the continents split. Fo example, there's that factor, that all the inhabitants of the ancient Pangaea living in what split to Gondwana, are dark skinned. Even the South American natives in the Amazonian forests are pretty dark skinned, and I've seen some of them who had pretty similar bone structure, body shape, than with the Subsaharan Africans. But no curly hair). It's just a slight similarity - mostly they look very much like the other original natives in the Americas.
Then in the time of separate continents, people started to divert genetically - but were still same species, which we later have noticed, being able to have childen though the parents were of different genetic backgrounds. And when we developed different means in traffic, travelling, we could cross waters, so mixing a bit the previous races - before Columbus.
@@timomastosalo nah the real story is that once Ice Age, people walk from one continent on other on ice, ice disappears, ups, we are stuck on different continents (and their colour and all those other differences between them come from the conditions of every place which geneted them different, but I won't explain, except if you insist)
@@andreidudceac It's more complicated than the ice melting and creating separation. I mean there's that very likely between North America and Eurasia. But also boats were build pretty early in the Stone Age. People left from Africa through Somalia - Arabia connection, or more like via the vicinity, but it probably was over some water anyway.
Nothing I said about the colour contradicts what you said.
@@timomastosalo Dude mammals had barely evolved by the breakup of Pangaea let alone humans - the continents were where they are today by the time humans evolved. And where the hell did you get this crackpot idea about skin colour and genealogy from?

I think it was the sea levels going down, which also created Florida.
And Hawaii
My theory is that the little islands soaked up water from the ocean so there was less water in earth so the land underwater was exposed to dry land and small islands collided with those bigger islands

Nice work, though I wonder about a couple of things that you could improve in the next edition: 1. use a map projection that is more shape preserving, there seem to be a lot of changes that are just projection artifacts. 2. Consider how you attach the map meridian to the crust of the continents. At one point, all the continents are around the edge of the map. 3. Consider drawing in lines for major expansion, subduction and folding zones, to make it clearer where the continents are actually going and why they seem to change direction.
Two more ideas for the new version: 1. Use capital M for Mega and a minus sign for ago, "mya" looks more like some foreign abbreviation of milliard (1E9). 2. Show the undersea parts of the plates too, as changes in water level/land altitude are not really drift, this would also imply treating the western wdge of the Americas as part of the Pacific at -0My, for example.
This is kind of like watching a cell move around.
This is fabulous. I am still trying to wrap my head around how this type of information could have been collected. What does the light blue represent? Is that the current or the contemporaneous sea level?
This is really accurate and full of information. Thank you for making it a time lapse instead of skipping millions of years like for example, 99 MYA to 23 MYA. Time lapse is the way
