The PaleoMap project – illustrating the tectonic movements of the past 1100 million years

I’ve recently wrote a few post about tectonic plates, the latest being the one with the next supercontinent which will form some 100 million years from now – Amasia. After this, I’ve received a lot of questions about tectonic movements and how the surface of our planet chances in geologic time periods; seeing people interested in this made me really happy, and while I do my best to explain as simple as I can, I find it really hard to illustrate the tectonic and climatic changes, among others.

This is why I’m suggesting this resource, for anybody interested in finding out more: the PaleoMap project, which gives a pretty good explanation on those issues, illustrating the movements, as well as major geological events. So, while I encourage any questions you might have, I recommend giving a look or two to that website.
