Deconstructing Tectonics: Ten Animated Explorations
Abstract The configuration of continents and oceans of our tectonically active planet is ever changing. Using new, high‐resolution paleogeographic base maps, we created a set of animations that examine key elements of plate tectonics. These time‐ and space‐based paleoglobe reconstructions illustrate...
