History of the Earth

Postby E-lad » Sat Feb 06, 2010 9:16 pm

I loved this chart, especially because it shows approx. positions of the land masses.

I was talking to a guy recently that asked how dinosaurs, which liked tropical climates could be found in North Dakota.
When I told him that when the dinosaurs were around, North Dakota was on the equator. He just rolled his eyes and I abandoned the conversation because I was getting too tempted to choke him to death.

You can also hold Ctrl and roll the mousewheel in most browsers to zoom in and out.

And... someone who doesn't believe in tectonic plate motion? Seriously? Even AiG has tried their hand at tectonic plate apologetics.
