Scotese Demonstrates Plate Tectonics 1993

This video is a snapshot of what it was like at the start of the PALEOMAP Project, University of Arlington, in 1993. In the late 1980's and early 1990's the first interactive plate tectonic reconstructions and animations were produced using high-speed vector graphic computer workstations built by Evans and Sutherland. During the intervening 20 years, computer hardware and software technology has rapidly advanced and it is now possible to produce interactive plate tectonic reconstructions and animations on
