Stunning Video Shows How Much Earth Has Changed in 1.8 Billion Years
Using information from inside the rocks on Earth's surface, we have reconstructed the plate tectonics of the planet over the last 1.8 billion years.
Poor cameraman stuck in space for 1.8 billion years Guess it's true that the cameraman never dies.

Did you realize it was working backwards?
4 0 ReplyOhhhhh yes that’s it. It was also so much more movement than I was expecting! I was expecting us to go from pangea glob to continents and then some shifty shifty but man those tectonics were BUSY.

Is the land sea ratio due primarily to sea level changes?
