Questions for thought
  1. Why didn't the scientists make the animation start before 180 mybp?

  2. How has the climate of the landmass we now know as "India" changed over the last 150 million years?

  3. Which ocean(s) are growing new seafloor by seafloor spreading today? Consider the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

  4. Which ocean(s) are growing larger today? Consider the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans

  5. Does this reconstruction show the distribution of marine vs. nonmarine areas accurately?
