    Dear Christopher, your recreation of the tectonic plates has made me extremely happy, I am a biologist and I teach biogeography in Querétaro Mexico and I am captivated by your research and in this video by the masterful way of doing it with the Danse macabre. I send you hugs and I thank you for sharing your findings in such a beautiful way.

      Danse macabre, by Camille Saint-Saens. The dead rise from the grave by night and have some fun. After being cooped up as they had been as they had been in their coffins, it would have to be a joyous occasion for them.

      @MrKmanthie 5 лет назад +4

      George Thomas LOL "unbearably cheerful" ...are you, like, a "goth", as far as your musical tastes go? Are the tunes on The Cure's (IMO, best album) Pornography or pick any of the 1st 2 or 3 Bauhaus albums or the 2 studio Joy Divisions (or the double-live album, STILL, which, cool enough, has, taking up 1 out of 4 sides, the Velvet Underground's 17+ minute freak-out from WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT, "Sister Ray")? Anyway "unbearably cheerful" or otherwise (well, yes, it certainly isn't heavy like a Wagner opera or a Mahler symphony), "Danse Macabre" is a very catchy tune. It is a great classic. But, I can see how, if you listened to it over & over & over again, it just might get old & its cheerfulness or whatever could "wear out its welcome", so to speak. I could, I suppose, if I thought about it long enough, come up with a few examples of songs that really, without a doubt "unbearably cheerful" and, even to me, that sort of quality would be off-putting, to say the least!! LOL ;-)

    It's funny that you just posted this (sort of) recently. Just today I
    found some old Discover Magazines in my attic and randomly picked up the November
    1982 issue where you were cited heavily in the cover story. You were
    29 at the time. The story piqued my interest in how the theory had
    evolved in the last 34 yrs, so I googled it and found that you're the
    biggest authority on the subject. This is great. I noticed that at the beginning, the land masses are sort of meandering about until we reach the Silurian Period about 420 million years ago. Is that my imagination? If not, what drove the acceleration of change at that time?

    I have always been fascinated by the geological history of the earth since I was a child and every time I look at a landscape feature I can not help but imagine the forces of nature that have shaped it. When I walk in the mountains of the Italian Apennines during my hikes I can not help but think that the limestone on which I lay my feet once was the backdrop of an ancient sea and when I am in the Alps and observe the contortions of the rocky folds I am amazed to think about what incredible forces might have bent the earth's crust like that.
    Our planet becomes even more beautiful when one imagines it in motion as if it were a living thing.

      Now we live in the epoch of the oceanic development of the Earth. Most likely the earth will grow further and become something like Jupiter in a billion years or so...

      There's some very funky plate tectonics in that part of the world which formed all the peninsulas and islands pretty recently. Japan is smooshed between three plates and its islands straddle the fault lines.

    Remarkable work! thank you! I found a small flaw though...you have not take into account the 40-degree, well-defined clockwise rotation of the southern Balkan peninsula (Hellenides and part of the Dinarides) which is more or less started at 25 Ma. Thanks again for sharing these beautifully enlightening visualizations.

    Hi Chris. I am so glad I (serendipitously) came by your page(s) on You Tube. 1st time I found one of your videos I saw the one like this that was going from 540 ma up to the present & that one too, like this one, utilizes Saint-Saens's "Danse Macabre". Speaking of that song, do you happen to know offhand, if that is one part of a longer symphony or some broader musical endeavor of Camille's? I'm just curious, that's all, so no worries if you don't know yourself. Since I started here, with the forward & backward plate movements/continental drifting (w/the relevant ice ages & orogenies being shown & even the modern day political borders of most of the countries within the continents you show), I've gone on to look around at your various different videos & the many paleogeographic maps that you and, at times (if not always), one of a couple collaborators w/whom you've worked. I recently went to your page & looked through your list of videos, etc. & I did see some animated paleogeographic maps of the world; many of them deal with what is actually only the last 1/8th of the earth's 4.5 billion year history! (wow) Then I noticed some of the animations that go back to around 1.5 billion years & maybe one or 2 that are even further back. But I'm sure there's a good reason for sticking within up to the last 540 ma, some up to 200 ma, etc. Again. Thanks!!! Love your work & I love some of the things that I've discovered since I subscribed to your page. Anyway, glad you are making great stuff. You certainly are a great authority on plate tectonics & paleogeography!

    I've enjoyed your animations for about 20 years now, Chris. I like the extended lines showing nation and state boundaries. Thanks. I do believe, however, that one of the two stereo channels of the Danse Macabre you used for this video is missing. Many of the solo violin passages are silent. Or maybe it's just my hearing...
