Where were you 300 million years ago? A tool to find out.
 
This is a cool web site: http://dinosaurpictures.org/ancient-earth#66

You can input your address (tip: doesn't have to be your exact address), and it'll plot your point on a world map. You can then change the date of your map to see who plate tectonics would have worked around your location for the past 750 million years.

Living in Denver, I've been on a coastline numerous times. I think my property has been near the beach at least six different times.

300,000 years ago, Pangaea just started breaking up.

I am going to add this to my school list.

No wonder the Himalayas are so huge. The Indian subcontinent used to be an island.

I've never met a flat earther or even seen one speak on the internets but apparently they are everywhere.

You might want to add some zeros to that.

But only in the northern hemisphere. Because in the southern hemisphere they all fell off.

The CHIEFS won the Super Bowl back on January 11, 1970. Cool man, thanks for the link!

Yeah, that is one of the cooler bits of tectonic lore... when they automate it and you can see the Indian sub-continent smash into Asia above and push up the Himalayas.

Fairly recently too. I want to say the Himalayas continue to be pushed up at some small rate each year.

yup, forgot a few. Corrected to 350,000,000

I also like telling the kids that MPLS was underwater many times. But it had nothing to do with lakes. Freaks them out. Fish many feet long. Large teeth. Then show them the proof. That is learning.

Oh lord, did Carcosa find this thread yet? I see that JJ did.

LMAO

I've read that the Himalayas are still growing an inch a year or more, which seems like a lot when you think about it.

Still shows me in ***ing Illinois - only underwater.:cuss:

displacedinMN 06-11-2019 09:05 AM

India was part of Africa. Floated away. Then Madagascar.
Now it is ripping apart again. Great Rift Valley.

Had a parent that tried to deny that Plate Tectonics existed. Oh Lord... that was a conversation.

loochy 06-11-2019 10:04 AM

LMAO JJ was removed from the thread.


Unfortunately I can't look at your thing Mr Rain Man. Apparently my graphics card does not seem to support WebGL. I'll check it from home later.
