Discovering the “Map of the Ancient Earth”
The planet we know today is the result of an elaborate geological puzzle, with tectonic plates moving over millions of years to give rise to today's landmasses and oceans.
The “Ancient Earth Map” takes you through this amazing journey of transformation. By accessing it, it is possible to go to the past, starting 240 million years ago, in the era of the supercontinent Pangea.
From there, you are free to choose between different time periods, from 750 million years ago to the present.
And not only that — if you're using a computer, hold the left and right keys down to see the continents drifting apart over time, until the current contours form.
