ANALYSIS
Tectonic Drift
Wherever you are standing has been somewhere else. Drop a pin and follow that patch of crust back through 540 million years.
The continents are rafts, and the ground under your feet is a passenger. Tectonic Drift follows one patch of crust backward — drop a pin on the map, or use where you are, and watch that ground travel through 540 million years: across climates, across the equator, to the far side of the planet.
The reconstruction uses the PALEOMAP model (Scotese) via GPlates. Plate motions are confident for the last ~200 million years and increasingly speculative before that — the deep end of the ribbon is a best estimate, not a measurement. Open the instrument.
