  • This animation shows the plate tectonic evolution of the Earth from the time of Pangea, 240 million years ago, to the formation of Pangea Proxima, 250 million years in the future.
    The animation starts with the modern world then winds it way back to 240 million years ago (Triassic). The animation then reverses direction, allowing us to see how Pangea rifted apart to form the modern continents and ocean basins. When the animation arrives back at the present-day, it continues for another 250 million years until the formation of the next Pangea, "Pangea Proxima".
    This question often come up. " Why dont you show East Africa rifting away from the rest of Africa?".
    Here's why:
    - Often, oceans open around a three-armed rift system called a “triple junction”. Only two arms of a triple junction open to form ocean basins. . In the case of East Africa, the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden are the two successful rifts. The East African rift sytem, starting at the Afar Triangle, in Ethiopiais an aulacogen or “failed arm” of a triple junction The East African rift system is a failed rift, much like the Benue Trough in the South Atlantic or the Labrador Sea in the North Atlantic.
    - Let’s step back and ask the question, “What caused the rifting of the Red Sea , Gulf of Aden and East Africa in the first place? Though the Afar hotspot certainly helped to weaken the lithosphere, The driving force that caused the rifting was the subduction (beneath Eurasia , i.e., Iran) of oceanic crust attached to the northern margin of Arabia. (There was ocean an ocean between Arabian and Iran.) This subducting slab “pulled” Arabia northward tearing it away from Africa. This subduction zone has been completely destroyed by the collision of Arabia and Eurasia (Zagros Mountains). Consequently, there is no longer any “plate tectonic forces” acting on the African rifts and they will not continue to open.
    - Also, if we look at the plate tectonic neighborhood of East Africa, we see that the dominant motion of plates in the western Indian Ocean is N-S, rather than E-W . In fact, a new subduction zone is just beginning in the central Indian Ocean (a zone of diffuse earthquakes ~ 5-10 S) that will continue to pull Australia and Antarctica northward towards Asia. In other words, there is no room for East Africa to expand towards the east. Rather the east coast of Madagascar will become a strike-slip margin accommodating the continued, northward movement of the Australian-Antarctic plate.
    I hope this explanation is helpful. Of course all of this is scientific speculation, we will have to wait and see what happens, but this is my projection based on my understanding of the forces that drive plate motions and the history of past plate motions. Remember: “The past reveals patterns; Patterns inform process; Process permits prediction.”
    Notice how the areas of green (land), brown (mountains), dark blue (deep sea), and light blue (shallow seas on continents), changes throughout time. These changes are the result of mountain-building, erosion, and the rise and fall of sea level throughout time. The white patches near the pole are the expanding and contracting polar icecaps.
    The first part of the animation is a global view. The second part of the animation is a closeup view. This animation contains original music by C.R. Scotese, as well as an "easter egg" at the end.

      @@euronico7949 Hey we're actually learning about this in my Adv. Geology class :) It's technically an intro to geology college course, and it's honestly been a lot of fun. Chances are your school just never offered these options or that you simply haven't had the option offered to you yet. Learning is the best! If you find yourself loving these sciences, maybe consider looking into college courses for fun. College can be quite pricey nowadays, but many community colleges can offer classes for cheap.

    In 1965, I was in fifth grade. I mentioned to the teacher that it looked like the continents were at one time connected. This was years before the concept of Pangea was even considered. She replied; "Oh, it just LOOKS like that." I discovered Pangea when I was 10.

      You were however, a very savvy kid to be so aware. I was some years older when I drew the connection between Egyptian pyramids and thier south and central american counterparts. My science teacher ( an anthropologist ) said there was no connection . I knew there must be. Now Graham Hancock, who has extensively studied ancient civilizations, says there definitely is a connection , such temples exsist every 15 degrees around the globe wherever there is land to support them. The big lesson is that kids are smarter than we give them credit for.

    India and Madagascar were once part of Africa millions of years back, they broke off and got seperated, Madagascar stayed there as a island, while india's continent literally rotated itself and joined Asia and that's how Himalayas were formed. That's one of the major reasons why India is also known as the continent in itself and also 'The subcontinent of Asia' probably because it joined asia and because of its rich diversity.

      The same or similar mixing happened during the Columbian Exchange, 500 years ago, and the Great American interchange, maybe five million years ago. You probably know them, but the changes wrought by Columbus and the colonizing nations was anthropogenic, of course, while the thin, inconsequential-looking Isthmus of Panama really changed a lot of the Earth forever, in every way.

    • @StuffandThings_
      @StuffandThings_ 2 года назад +5

      @@prototropo I personally consider the current continental configuration to be a supercontinent, albeit a very strange one connected via two isthmuses and a land bridge. Only Australia and Antarctica are truly separated (Australia used to contain even crazier fauna than it does now, before the continent dried out and humans arrived, due to its isolation). Camelids, for example, are found in both South America, Africa, and Eurasia, and used to be in North America as well. Thankfully we have a pretty even spread of oceans, which helps keep things pretty habitable compared to more typical supercontinents. But the modern distributions of various groups definitely show that the continents are well connected. Plus, the Isthmus of Panama changed ocean currents around, it is definitely underrated in its impacts.
      As for the late Devonian extinction, its a very enigmatic extinction and worth looking into. Its a lot more like a long, drawn out biodiversity crisis than the typical pulse of high extinction rates. There are loads of theories around it, ranging from the rise of forests to the assembling of Pangaea to a supernova to a series of meteor impacts to flood basalts to some short ice ages. I personally figure its probably a combination of the forests, Pangaea, and perhaps some climatic effects. Its definitely a bit scary seeing us replicate many of the aspects of this period, along with rapid release of carbon locked away in coal seams (which is quite a bit similar to the burning of coal seams in the Siberian Traps, which contributed to the Permian extinction). Late Devonian trashed the reefs so its not terribly surprising that we're starting to see a decline in the modern ones.

That's something we can't really know for sure, isn't it? I figured we'd just all migrate around to the other side of the planet and the Americas would crash into Russia and Australia.

      Yes, it's just a prediction based on the simulations we ran with all that we know about tectonic activity. The thing is that it's most likely that atlantic will reach an extreme extensino while pacific will reach its maximum compression, and then both will start revert back. That's the model that currently works the best with what we know of our past, and how supercontinents formed, fragmented, then formed again. Vaalbara, then Ur, then Kenorland, Columbia, Rodinia, Pannotia, Pangaea, and probably the future Pangaea Ultima. It's called the supercontinent cycle.
      Other models exists, this one is the one that actually makes more sense.

Causing magma chambers to build up forming a bulge or volcanic mountains range relative to the amount of melting in the mantle that occurs. Sorry, very simplified. Himalayas are not volcanic.

    I want an interactable globe which displays this. With the ability to go forward / backward or pause.
    and if possible the ability to have multiple files where you can 'add' information to the location such as a climate skin, elevation skin or fossil record skin.

      @trishapellis Год назад +3

      Sounds like a great idea and I'd love to see it for real, but I think maybe the best way to put this into practice would be as a large model for observatories, just because of all the minute detail. If you could get some geologists and some CGI animators together to really let you see how the mountains like the himalayas form, and before that, the volcanic island chains on the edges of the subduction zones like the ones that ended up becoming Italy and Greece... It would be great if you could actually get a smooth animation of all this.
      I would also like to propose: an actual videogame that simulates the movements of tectonic plates. Like you can take the Earth as it is now, reverse time to see how everything came to be, move it forward in time and choose to place new mantelplumes that will break up the existing continental plates in different ways... and that will also allow you to randomly generate a planet and just let the tectonic plates go, either completely random or, once more, with you choosing where the tectonic plate boundaries will lie and where mantelplumes will be (the thing that tears continents apart) and such.
      Basically, a game for playing God over a planet's geologic development :P I'm sure that would be easy-peasy for any beginner programmer to put together... but I would pay good money for it.

    Evolutionary timescales are hard to imagine, but geologic timescales are several factors harder to grasp. The smallest step backwards in the animation to 10 million years ago is still 3 million years longer than the oldest known Hominid fossil. I remember learning that the American Appalachian mountains were once much larger than the Himalayas and that all the sandstone in South Western USA was deposited from these mountains as they eroded and shrunk to what they are today. It makes perfect sense looking at this but standing at the grand canyon it's too long a time to even try to imagine.
