A California paleontologist has developed an interactive map that visualizes the movement of hometowns over the past 750 million years due to continental drift. This tool provides users with a unique perspective on geological changes, highlighting significant shifts such as the rapid movement of the Indian subcontinent, particularly around 80 million years ago, which contributed to the formation of the Himalayas. Additional resources, including the Interactive Virtual Earth and GPlates, offer further insights into ancient geological formations and seafloor changes.
