Watch 3.3 billion years of continental drift. Credits in the video.

Thanks to Carl Davidson for the website!
God, this took forever to make.
Started: January 2, 2015
Ended: April 20, 2015
I thought that I'd compile the entire history of Earth's continents (as best as I could).

Se mira 3.3 billón años de deriva continental. Créditos en el vídeo.
Ay Dios mio, éste vídeo necisita mucho tiempo.
Vídeo empezó: Enero 2, 2015
Vídeo terminó: Abril 20, 2015
Creo que compilaría entera historia del mundo (lo mejor como haría).
Continents of the past: Vaalbara, Ur, Kenorland, Arctica, Atlantica, Nena, Columbia, Rodinia, Pannotia, Pangaea/Pangea, Gondwana, Laurasia.

I don't know if I should make a backwards version labeled + major city locations. Let me know if you guys want.
+Algol i want!
+Algol Yes!
+Algol Make it
+Algol How long will it take?
+Algol Yes. Please do. I went to the end, full-screened this, and then used my left arrow key and the space bar to go backward in steps. It helps a lot in understanding where the current layout came from. Cities and some island names would help too. ...... If you can, could you also project drift into the future, please?
It's crazy how all of human history took place in less than a split second of this video
And prehistory too

Does anyone else get a bit emotional when you start to see the modern continents take shape? Its like i am witnessing the birth of something special.

Birds and Crocodiles are both descendants of Archosaurs (basically proto-dinosaurs)
There are some species of dinosaur that are really similar to birds (i think they're called "archaeopteryx").

new zealand literally just comes out of nowhere
vision checked long ago new Zealand appears at 4:00???
Sorry, I only remember from trawling, and didn't save the site, so I cannot prove it, but it said there is a fault rift thru Sydney (Luna Park to Kiama) that was supposedly, made when NZ ripped away from eastern Australia. [but NZ and Sydney are so different landscapes??]
So does hawaii
With the very recent confirmation that New Zealand is part of a former continent that sunk millions of years ago, we can have a better perspective on it's past

Man look at the journey of India it just flew from South to North just like that. It was quite remarkable. Most of the regions did the horizontal movement
That's why the Himalayas (home of Mt. Everest) are so tall. They're just rock that was pushed up by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.

Just randomly found this video, it's been put together really well. I love the animation and the music is so soothing
It's amazing how scientists can predict and retell what happened in the past, yet telling the weather is a pain. Something simple is harder to tell from something complicated.
I know, but it still is surprising.
SuperNova that is past not present
It's more like...you know the saying "Hindsight is 20/20"? It's like that.
The arrow of time is real. You cannot observe the future before it happens, only make predictions based off the best evidence of the past. Your predictions will only be accurate to the degree that you can control for variables.

This is our current calculation. But I just intuitively think people were born during Pangaea, and spread to all the continents, before we could build boats, and before the continents split. Fo example, there's that factor, that all the inhabitants of the ancient Pangaea living in what split to Gondwana, are dark skinned. Even the South American natives in the Amazonian forests are pretty dark skinned, and I've seen some of them who had pretty similar bone structure, body shape, than with the Subsaharan Africans. But no curly hair). It's just a slight similarity - mostly they look very much like the other original natives in the Americas.
Then in the time of separate continents, people started to divert genetically - but were still same species, which we later have noticed, being able to have childen though the parents were of different genetic backgrounds. And when we developed different means in traffic, travelling, we could cross waters, so mixing a bit the previous races - before Columbus.
@@timomastosalo nah the real story is that once Ice Age, people walk from one continent on other on ice, ice disappears, ups, we are stuck on different continents (and their colour and all those other differences between them come from the conditions of every place which geneted them different, but I won't explain, except if you insist)
@@andreidudceac It's more complicated than the ice melting and creating separation. I mean there's that very likely between North America and Eurasia. But also boats were build pretty early in the Stone Age. People left from Africa through Somalia - Arabia connection, or more like via the vicinity, but it probably was over some water anyway.
Nothing I said about the colour contradicts what you said.
@@timomastosalo Dude mammals had barely evolved by the breakup of Pangaea let alone humans - the continents were where they are today by the time humans evolved. And where the hell did you get this crackpot idea about skin colour and genealogy from?

Modern Eurasia as well as Africa eclipses many of the previous supercontinents, I genuinely think they should be classed as such.
Afro-Eurasia
thats because there was not much land back then, the americas, africa and eurasia are all too close in size
You could say that we have the afro-Eurasian super continent now.
I wouldn't consider it a proper supercontinent until the Mediterranean Sea closes.
X3C Africa is not relay connected like north and south America because of the big canals
Super Continent is one which dominates about 30% percent of the globe but swing how the world is currently 70% water with 2 separate land masses and other larger bodies of separate land there is not but with tectonics there is the Eurasian plate
still don't mean shit
Master Chief That's not very deep.
Who else followed one bit of land to see if that's where you live?
Kind of hard to do. The Palisades of NYC were abutted to Wales and the Applachians formed on that point. Try to see that time and it is really hard. Too many little fragments moving around and North America keeps coming together and breaking up until right at the end to see something like the east coast clearly
