I like the way this animation shows oceanic ridges and subduction zones since those are the driving forces of plate tectonics. It makes continental movements vastly more understandable. Great video!
Thank you for making this animation that starts with North America “off Center” at 750 Ma years ago: too often, other animation tend to Center it too much putting the majority of other continents on the distorted edges of “oval shaped world”, which makes it very difficult to discern those continents. This puts it in much better perspective!
Super, super didactical video ! Don´t know why, but beginning around 0:49, or 416 Ma, my eyes get fixed to the emergence of future Brazil... Maybe I am little down, cause a lot of "creationists" religious groups here, are advocating the earth is in fact flat, and trying to force govern to adopt this concept on elementary school...Thanks for posting Mr Scotese, oscar from brazil
Wait? The carribean plate is the one who forms in mid-Pantalassa near the same time the pacific plate born nearby? That's very interesting. I really like to see the evolution of the great ocean, from Pantalassa to Pacific...
Even the oceans, the largest features of our planet, are nowhere near as old as the Earth. The Pacific Ocean begins to form only when North America splits from Australia and Antarctica around 700 million years ago. (Australia and Antarctica were together until much later). The North Atlantic starts to appear between North America in the west and Africa and Europe about 170 million years ago. Africa splits from India and Antarctica about 160 million years ago. Africa and South America begin to separate about 150 million years ago. India begins to split from Australia and Antarctica about 120 million years ago.About 75 million years ago, Australia begins to separate from Antarctica. About 40 million years ago, India smashes into the Asian mainland.
Einer Kleine Nachtmusik, first movement, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It is his 13th serenade, K. 550 in G major, written in 1787. "Nachtmusik" is a German translation of the Italian Serenata, which appears in French and English as Serenade. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eine_kleine_Nachtmusik.

But oceanic transgressions and regressions on the plates missed.
thanks for making and posting these

Thanks for all ur videos.
Impossible to see the video (other also?)??
Mr scotese what the name of the ocean is that the 750 million years ago
Is Southern Europe supposed to detach off of Gondwana at 0:46 or 450 million years ago?
Why does Antarctica not move during the last ~75Ma?
Some of the movements seem almost meteorological - high pressure and low pressure rotations.

In fact, Pangaea could start forming ~400 million years ago, according to the Scotese model)
Mowlede centered at 60°E
Please, tell what's the music playing in this video!
Mozart: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, first Part!!

Well,if you dont count the Protopanthallasic and the Pharusian-Adamastor Oceans who are as old as the earth...:) (water was the same i m guessing)
It's like plate tectonics video bible.
As a scotsman it makes me chuckle to see england move south,,,
Why russia is soviet union?
Billy Wong what do you mean?
Why is there a USSR

I do not like this animation Dr Scotese, I liked BM Animation, BM is brilliant maps.
Viet Cuong Vu but who is that, and what do they do?
