Plate Tectonic Evolution of the North Atlantic: Scotese Animation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 січ 2016
- This animation shows the plate tectonic and paleogeographic evolution of the North Atlantic region from 200 million years ago to the present-day. North Atlantic Ocean formed as a result of the breakup of the supercontinent of Pangea. The Central Atlantic opened as North America rifted away from northwest Africa (170 Ma). About 150 million years ago, South America rifted away from North America opening the Gulf of Mexico. About 80 million years ago the northern North Atlantic, between Europe and North America opened.

thanks for slowing it down. a million a minute would be even better.
I love anything on the plates and I just found this guy's channel today so awesome
Nice work again, professor! :)
Completely ok video.
Wow. PA was entirely covered in ocean water. I wonder why I occasionally find coral fossils on Lake Erie shores, but I should be able to find them everywhere. Ultimate antiques! I guess it be easier in an area where pebbles and gravel get tossed around rather than buried under development. Great video...THANKS!
Aye,fossils are all over, .. I showed my sister a brachiopod in her yard in Missouri. It was a sea.
What're remaining of the mighty ocean that covered most of the todays Usa and Canada are Colorado river and Misissipirivers.
@@minnowpd can you imagine what gets tossed around unnoticed during road & land development? Jobs would get done a million times slower if I was a foreman. I’d stop them every 20 minutes so I could sift through piles of earth before advancing. 😁
Cette musique se prête bien à l'ouverture de l'Atlantique Nord.❤
obscure to most but a time sequence of the Great Lakes, especially Superior would be interesting
Dios, siempre quise ver así a la Tierra desarrollarse, tú haces que la imaginación viaje al través del tiempo, ojalá y uno pudiera hacerlo...
I love your videos. At the KT extinction event time frame, a little concentric circle shows up in your Yucatan area. Is that to show the likely impact site of the asteroid?
Yes.In this vídeo there is a representatión of an asteroid hitting North América at 0.35 seconds in what is now Labrador.
@@angeldedios7377 , i'll rewatch, but my question was about the one that hits Yucatan.
@@ksoman953 Yes.The one you asked about is the one that hit the Yucatán Península because It coincides with the date.
Wow.
Very good aproximation on the huge crater from the killer Asteroid.
The island of Rockall lasted for 20 to 30 million years as a decent size island.
I would love to know what unique forces that created the fold back ridge and valleys section of the N. E. of mostly Pennsylvania that lies S.W. of Harrisburg on to the N.E. of Harrisburg..
That probably predates the period covered in the video, and is tied to the formation of Pangaea.
Do you have any other details though? might be something new.
The Appalachians are the product of and earlier collusion between Europe and Africa on one side, and north America on the other. They forme the Pangea. Then they broke up again, this time African left a piece of itself behind, namely the land between Harrisburg and New York City. So what you see now should be in Morocco-Sengal parts of the Sahara. Instead, they are the land from central ridges of Appalachians (Harrisburg, area for example) to the Atlantic
Someday, I want to travel to Iceland only to see where the North American and the Eurasian Plate meet.
I hope you made it to Iceland, it’s an amazing place
Awesoome. Do you have the expected future movements?
Look at : ua-cam.com/video/uLahVJNnoZ4/v-deo.html
2017?
160 million years ago and I would be able to stand on what is currently called Ayrshire coast,, Scotland!!!
Il y avait déjà des chaines de montagnes ?
oui, avant ça il y a encore milliards d'années de dérive des continents
1:07 it looks like north america got a haircut
Wow amazing videos! Why does the UK keep going under water and changing shape through out? A lot of the other land masses seem to retain their shape some what.
The Baltic sea in northern Europe sometimes is waterfilled, sometimes lowlands.
Il yavait un continent vers l'Idonesie et les iles déchirés....avant?
The Birth Of Atlantic Ocean
Wow i hate that Mercader projection, makes NA Greenland island up north looks so stretched and weird.
weirdalfan1980
And Africa is all tiny
It isn’t Mercator projection, it is one of the projections that paleomap uses, “equirectangular”. It is also use for planet textures. The others are Mollweide, and robinsons. Mollweide is like the winkel tripel map made by Oswald Winkel.
At 0:35 there's a giant impact crater in Labrador. What was that all about? I believe this was time before the dinosaurs. Did that impact wipe-out any earlier life-forms? What were the major life forms prior to that event?
The Crater is called The Manicouagan Crater, It is located in Eastern Quebec. It was hit by a meteor, about 1.3 kilometers, or 0.8 miles in diameter 212,000,000 (212 million) years ago. Some scientists believe that this impact may have been responsible for a mass extinction associated with the loss of roughly 60% of all species.
Clearly explains why GoM and Noth Sea are productive (oil)...these are ahead of the curve. Other similar basins need a lot of work!
These do not account for the continents moving north or south.
Thanks for loading! Someone of us still beliefs that the world has been created in just seven days! (Bible)
And the 7 day people I hear from most often believe that plate tectonics is absolutely correct.
@@richardthomas5362 : LOL! A gift from Heaven!
@@marcob4630 Given the geologic paradigm which existed prior to plate tectonics, I would say, "hell, yes".
@@richardthomas5362 : LOL!
@@richardthomas5362they are idiots to believe in the 7 day thing. How can millions and billions of years be fit into 7 days?
うるさい くそ宣伝やめろ おい きちがい宣伝やめい！
Serene animation work. Looks good. A lot of hard work. Sorry, but it was not like that. Based on old books. On short terms this theory (and many similar) will find its way to the garbage bin.
