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.

You might want to add some zeros to that.

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.

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

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

It's about 2.4" per year.
It stops when the Indian plate runs out of gas maybe in 100 million years. The Appalachians used to be higher than the Himalayas. Now they're worn-down nubs of their former selves. They're one of the oldest mountain rangers on earth. The oldest rocks found in them are some 480 million years old. |
