    • @kala_asi
      @kala_asi Год назад +8

      yes
      from pangea to the present day, all simulations are pretty much in agreement
      before that, theres general agreement on what landmasses *had to* have coalesced (Pannotia, Rodinia), but the arrangement on the map varies
      And by Rodinia, once you start comparing simulations side by side, the divergences are massive
      simulating further than 1bya is of course possible, the accuracy goes down the drain though

    I'm no flat earther, but.. how is this possible. If this were true then why haven't our lands moved in centuries? There's no way that these massive pieces of land have detached from our earth's core and just floated around the globe as illustrated in this video. When dirt hits water it separates and sinks, and stays there, it doesn't cruise around like a bunch of bumper cars. And why has it stopped? Why aren't we still cruising around changing shape and taking new forms? Why? You go anywhere in the world where water is present and you'll see small changes on land, but it hasn't relocated or moved across the earth since man has been living on it, cool story though. I mean it'll put the kids to sleep if used as a bed time story.

      Of course, we can't know with 100% certainty and get 100% precise answers. But we can figure out what most likely happened. The more we figure out we're getting closer to the actual truth. We know for sure the tectonic plates are moving today, this is regularly measured. We can find similar types of rocks, fossils of same type from same age, metals etc. and conclude that the land with those similarities was once connected at x time in history. And many other methods. We're getting closer to the truth and our calculations get more precise all the time.
