This animation is based on the PALEOMAP Global Plate Tectonic Model using the the program "GPlates" developed by R.D. Müller (EarthByte). The map is the composite satellite image of the "Earth at Night" (NASA) combined with a 3D relief model of the ocean floor and the modern coastlines and political boundaries, for reference.
