Music fits in perfectly as India moves towards Asia
But it end too soon, before India touch asia
I heard Reich tangle many times In Countryballs
And Make Himalaya
@@hihere4553 😂😂
India be like "gas gas gas!"
The music is unbearably cheerful
I can't imagine the work required to add the current borders and the smooth animation
Danse macabre, by Camille Saint-Saens. The dead rise from the grave by night and have some fun. After being cooped up as they had been as they had been in their coffins, it would have to be a joyous occasion for them.
George Thomas LOL "unbearably cheerful" ...are you, like, a "goth", as far as your musical tastes go? Are the tunes on The Cure's (IMO, best album) Pornography or pick any of the 1st 2 or 3 Bauhaus albums or the 2 studio Joy Divisions (or the double-live album, STILL, which, cool enough, has, taking up 1 out of 4 sides, the Velvet Underground's 17+ minute freak-out from WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT, "Sister Ray")? Anyway "unbearably cheerful" or otherwise (well, yes, it certainly isn't heavy like a Wagner opera or a Mahler symphony), "Danse Macabre" is a very catchy tune. It is a great classic. But, I can see how, if you listened to it over & over & over again, it just might get old & its cheerfulness or whatever could "wear out its welcome", so to speak. I could, I suppose, if I thought about it long enough, come up with a few examples of songs that really, without a doubt "unbearably cheerful" and, even to me, that sort of quality would be off-putting, to say the least!! LOL ;-)
@@MrKmanthie oh fuck off, he's entitled to his own opinions you twat
@@MrKmanthie he's saying for the subject this music is a bit off... And other people agree too so. People are allowed to have an opinion
@@pbrower2a1 so that's why the motiff of the piece sounds like the Fossils from Saint-Seans' Carnival Of The Animals.
Dear Christopher, your recreation of the tectonic plates has made me extremely happy, I am a biologist and I teach biogeography in Querétaro Mexico and I am captivated by your research and in this video by the masterful way of doing it with the Danse macabre. I send you hugs and I thank you for sharing your findings in such a beautiful way.

Yeah, millions of years with Pakistan as your neighbor isn't the best place to be.

This video was very helpful. My students loved seeing the gradual changes in the earth's landmasses and how they came together. It was also great that there was no one providing a narrative because I developed a lesson where my students were the narrators and they had to describe and explain what was happening. Awesome video!!
Thanks for the thoughtful comments. Good to know my work is useful. - CRScotese
For me, this is an example of what CZcams- , or, for that matter, pictural or filmic content in Internet should be!
AWESOME lesson idea!!
Would have been interesting to narrate India's "No braaaaaaaakes!!!" introduction to Eurasia :)

Beautiful! As a geology student this is the best animation I've seen so far!
Absolutely stupid anination. All the "plate tectonics" is poor fantasy.

@@itzyaboiiwill-gamingyeet8245, I believe that John was asking for a southern polar axis perspective map. I can appreciate that many in the southern hemisphere sometimes feel neglected by those in the north. I also would like a southern polar axis map because this version so distorts the compression of Antarctica.
It's funny that you just posted this (sort of) recently. Just today I
found some old Discover Magazines in my attic and randomly picked up the November
1982 issue where you were cited heavily in the cover story. You were
29 at the time. The story piqued my interest in how the theory had
evolved in the last 34 yrs, so I googled it and found that you're the
biggest authority on the subject. This is great. I noticed that at the beginning, the land masses are sort of meandering about until we reach the Silurian Period about 420 million years ago. Is that my imagination? If not, what drove the acceleration of change at that time?
That is kind of weird!

DUH!!!
India is like MY PEOPLE NEED ME ANTARCTICA!
Set course for Asia. RAMMING SPEED!
All the other continents are funny 3:43
India zooming up to Asia always cracks me up
Full speed ahead! 15 cm per year!
By tectonic standards, that is an Olympic record.
Antarctica should be part of India
We colonize there 😂😂
This is fantastic! The best plate tectonics animation I’ve ever seen. Settles my doubt about where the Chicxulub Asteroid Impact really was 65 million years ago, as I’ve always wondered its real position with the plates movements. Thank you so much for this!
I love it too! As I watched twice I wondered if there would be movement because of that impact. Doesn't seem to be...
Absolutely outstanding. I studied geology 40 years ago, and not only such CG techniques dind't exixst, but nobody even knew how the Earth could look like at so early stages... Mogi Vicentini (Italy)

In period of Dinosaurs and Adam AS earth was One Super Continent Pangaea.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿الأنبياء:٣٠﴾
Did not the disbelievers observe that the heavens and the earth were together (Super Continent)?
Then We parted them, and We made every living thing from water? So will they not believe (In 1 mighty God)? 21:30.
The drift of continents and creation of mountains is like, movement of Clouds 27:88.
وَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِ صُنْعَ اللَّـهِ الَّذِي أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِنَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿النمل: ٨٨﴾
And you see the high lands and think they are stationary?
But they are moving, like movements of Clouds. Allah designed everything with technique, Verily He controls/know every movement 27:88
@@adnanadill Subhanallah!
Absolutely superb! Thanks for posting this. I love how the continents rotate as they move. Probably makes it a lot more complicated to figure out paleolatitudes.
found your work referenced on recent PBS Eons video, great work.. thanks
I used to dig for quartz in Arkansas, and was told it all formed during mountain building 300,000,000 years ago. Now I see how & why! Thanks!
Fantastic, I will proyect your videos in my Historical Geology classes at Dpto. Geology, University of Buenos Aires. Prof. Graciela Vujovich
Thank you!
+Christopher Scotese which is the music?
Saint-Saëns: Danse Macabre
What Is The Song?
But what are the performers? Or performer?
ótimo vídeo aula professor! Parabéns pelo seu trabalho!
gostaria de ver um vídeo assim com essa qualidade sobre hipóteses para o futuro
A nearly perfect music choice , light an lively an fun ... Bravo!
I'm just reading an intro to Nova Scotia geology. I find it very interesting how parts of NS, Cape Breton and NFLD were all connected to bits of Ireland and Scotland with eastern Cape Breton, the Avalon Peninsula being attached to Wales. Great animation Chris! There was a link in the NS Geology book (Hickman and Barr 2015).
*You EARNED A SUB!* (*Awesome Animation, Especially with the Modern Map Imposed In...*)
Outstanding work Mr. Scotese!!
Absolutely stupid anination. All the "plate tectonics" is poor fantasy.

Mr. Scotese, thanks for the excellent video. I used it to illustrate to architecture students the colossal forces that shape the Earth's relief.
It would also be interesting to see a projection of how earth will look like the next couple of million years
There is a theory that shows what this could look like based on the directions the continents are going now! It's called Pangaea Proxima.
Did you know there is an 8th continent? It is New Zealand because it is actually big as Australia and if you look closely in google maps if you see that it is big then you have really good eyes.
Outstanding! Remarcable work. Congratulations.
Leonardo Ribeiro da Costa you are right sir
@Sternia Hoenheim Agreed about that. 😂👌
from 5:30 to 5:38 it was my favourite part of the song.
Because it was a farewell song to India
Mee too
I thought this video was lost with the music
THANK YOU!! INCREDIBLE WORK!! VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!! BLESSINGS!!
Fascinant. Merci depuis Paris !
Nice to see how ireland and britain formed from two separate land masses! I remember reading this in 1980s from publications about scotland and its formatation!
Song: Danse Macabre (No violin) by Kevin Macleod
I got the answer even though I haven't asked yet.
Your name sounded too familiar, just checked your channel. What a gift, I have lots to see now. Thanks !
hello from that place where you read it..and for so many years want to see it..Dr. Scotese I think you have known that place..and you wanted to see it too..so you made it. What you
have made in these videos is the artists downward from the heavens view of what is the fluidity of this molten core eggshell crusted planetary phenomenon... a wonder..thank you
4:08 rest in peace pangea
woow! Fascinante conocer la historia de los continentes con un vídeo y tan agradable música.
This really paints an accurate picture on how the continents have changed over time
Grandioso!
Es un verdadero placer asombroso, contemplar esta obra de arte.
Felicitaciones totales!!!
Awesome! Finally a slow animation which leaves time to study, along with the projection of modern day countries!
Muito boa esta animação, perfeita. É como se víssemos o nascimento de uma criatura. Lindo! PARABÉNS!
...
Wow, another video of how the continents had formed over time. The things that ALWAYS get overlooked are how the continents have uplifted, contracted, expanded or have undergone subduction due to extreme plate tectonic pressures.
I have always been fascinated by the geological history of the earth since I was a child and every time I look at a landscape feature I can not help but imagine the forces of nature that have shaped it. When I walk in the mountains of the Italian Apennines during my hikes I can not help but think that the limestone on which I lay my feet once was the backdrop of an ancient sea and when I am in the Alps and observe the contortions of the rocky folds I am amazed to think about what incredible forces might have bent the earth's crust like that.
Our planet becomes even more beautiful when one imagines it in motion as if it were a living thing.
Many thanks for your awesome work.

Thank you for your thoughtful and kind comments. _ CRScotese
My brain ceases comprehension at the projective modeling. Instead of trying to understand, I will just with it!
All dislikes from creationists and flat earth nuts.
Yeah those geological scientists just made this up for laughs.... right?
Hundreds of years of research?
Pfffffft
This is great! Thank you so much. I'm looking to find it backwards to help me better keep my bearings
Oh wow so the rockies have been around since the triassic that's amazing
Awesome, I was waiting for updated plate tectonic evolution video !
By the way, Is this possible You could share your paleoreconstructions data for GPlates, Professor ?
You can download a GPlates version of the PALEOMAP PaleoAtlas at: www.earthbyte.org/paleomap-paleoatlas-for-gplates/
Best one yet!
60 millions years ago?? Dinosaurs ? That space camera sure last a long time without a battery.
It's when India started to break away in mid Jurassic, I got goosebumps. The music fits so well. If you look closely, it shows how India during it's drift left some of it portions in the Indian ocean, eg the Kerguelen plateau separated from East part through 90°E ridge.
This is just very informative.
It’s not all about India you know.
@@cpj93070 it is Chris.. you go and study any book on plate tectonics, you will find India and its tectonic evolution in it's core. No other plate suffered this much drifting and tectonic activity as Indian plate did right from the Precambrian to present.
@@sumeetsingh6149 Bullshit, the original plate tectonics came from Africa and Australia not India.
@@cpj93070
Well, you cannot be sure on that. Tectonic plates tend to break apart and join multiple times.
5:30 *philippines joined the chat* hi guys im new-
India: "IM GOING TO GET YOU-" _explodes and turns into a mountain_
wow, amazing. I am blown away....the whole of Latin America, Mexico, united states, Canada as we know it today was once apart of the mother land, that is Africa. Wow who would have thought Madagascar was once apart of India! and that India travelled sooo far to join what is now known as Asia. It's no wonder why they called it "The Indian sea" haha omg..I have learnt so much from this, thank you very much Christopher.
I love the way India plate moves north towards aisa. Man that's status and so billant
Thank you for your meticulous recreations of our planet's history!
Agreed! The work is appreciated
@@Talleyhoooo Absolutely stupid anination. All the "plate tectonics" is poor fantasy.
The Earth is definitely expanding!
@@Anatoly-Cherep iron only expands up to 0.1 % when heated, meaning that even without gravitational pressure pulling the mantle and core inward, that would only be an expansion about the width of Iceland over Earth’s entire history… what would even make you think that’s possible?
@@Talleyhoooo Hello! The Earth has grown almost TWO times during the last 150-160 mln years. This is not a fantasy. This figure could be obtained from the current ratio of the continental and ocenic crust: 40% and 60%. All the oceanic crust is not older than 150-160 mln years.
Now we live in the epoch of the oceanic development of the Earth. Most likely the earth will grow further and become something like Jupiter in a billion years or so...
The Earth is an open system and absorbs something from the Space.
I love how Japan just appeared out of nowhere and Korea was just like "come here"
and philippines too
Phil was like: Hello everyone! im new my name is philippines.
Southeast Asia was like: Yo new guy, wanna join our fam?
There's some very funky plate tectonics in that part of the world which formed all the peninsulas and islands pretty recently. Japan is smooshed between three plates and its islands straddle the fault lines.
Amazing work!!
Remarkable work! thank you! I found a small flaw though...you have not take into account the 40-degree, well-defined clockwise rotation of the southern Balkan peninsula (Hellenides and part of the Dinarides) which is more or less started at 25 Ma. Thanks again for sharing these beautifully enlightening visualizations.
1:20 nice

It is interesting to read all the comments here . Amazing animation.
I've enjoyed your animations for about 20 years now, Chris. I like the extended lines showing nation and state boundaries. Thanks. I do believe, however, that one of the two stereo channels of the Danse Macabre you used for this video is missing. Many of the solo violin passages are silent. Or maybe it's just my hearing...
Indi didn`t STOP at the sign and therfore we have himalayas now

Notice how the UK looks like it does today at 4:30 - dissappears and reappears a minute later looking the same 😂😂
No, it doesn't form a recognisable shape until 5.46. Earlier you're looking at a "drawn on" outline that indicates where the UK forms.
Fabulous!!
this is great nice work!
Love these animations! Any idea on when the next one will come out?
My latest paleoclimate animation is now available.
When oceans form, for instance the Atlantic from the Jurassic-present, is all of the basaltic crust formed from volcanism in ocean ridges or is it more of an intrusion of basalt?
These are one of those types of videos that after a day they get hit by a million views
Awesome!
Fantastic music music is good👍👍👍👍👍🌏🌍🌎

Can you do a tectonic evolution of Colombia (from 540 mya to 250 mya the future)?
Thanks.
Blanca Galeano that's the problem...duh.
Why wpuld he focus on a country where there were no countries back then? That's out of the question

They were there the whole time.
Hi Chris. I am so glad I (serendipitously) came by your page(s) on You Tube. 1st time I found one of your videos I saw the one like this that was going from 540 ma up to the present & that one too, like this one, utilizes Saint-Saens's "Danse Macabre". Speaking of that song, do you happen to know offhand, if that is one part of a longer symphony or some broader musical endeavor of Camille's? I'm just curious, that's all, so no worries if you don't know yourself. Since I started here, with the forward & backward plate movements/continental drifting (w/the relevant ice ages & orogenies being shown & even the modern day political borders of most of the countries within the continents you show), I've gone on to look around at your various different videos & the many paleogeographic maps that you and, at times (if not always), one of a couple collaborators w/whom you've worked. I recently went to your page & looked through your list of videos, etc. & I did see some animated paleogeographic maps of the world; many of them deal with what is actually only the last 1/8th of the earth's 4.5 billion year history! (wow) Then I noticed some of the animations that go back to around 1.5 billion years & maybe one or 2 that are even further back. But I'm sure there's a good reason for sticking within up to the last 540 ma, some up to 200 ma, etc. Again. Thanks!!! Love your work & I love some of the things that I've discovered since I subscribed to your page. Anyway, glad you are making great stuff. You certainly are a great authority on plate tectonics & paleogeography!
I LOVE THIS !!
