متن کاملFrom Continental Drift to Plate Tectonics
SINCE THE l6TH CENTURY, CARTOGRAPHERS HAVE NOTICED THE jigsaw-puzzle fit of the continental edges. Since the 19th century, geologists have known that some fossil plants and animals are extraordinarily similar across the globe, and some sequences of rock formations in distant continents are also strikingly alike. At the turn of the 20th century, Austrian geologist Eduard Suess proposed the theor...
متن کاملContinental drift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Continental drift is the movement of the Earth's continents relative to each other. The hypothesis that continents 'drift' was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596 and was fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. However, it was not until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s, that a sufficient geological explanation of that movement was understood. (This arti...
متن کاملVisualization of the continental drift in real-time
We present an approach to simulate and visualize the paleontological change of the terrestrial globe through time. As input, maps of the Earth at different points in time, each showing a specific stage in the Earth’s development, are used. To display the continuous change of Earth through time, smooth transitions between consecutive input maps are computed by manual correspondence matching. Our...
