The Pangaea Pop-up - Michael Molina

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/the-pangaea...
The supercontinent Pangaea, with its connected South America and Africa, broke apart 200 million years ago. But the continents haven't stopped shifting -- the tectonic plates beneath our feet (in Earth's two top layers, the lithosphere and the asthenosphere) are still traveling at about the rate your fingernails grow. Michael Molina discusses the catalysts and consequences of continental drift.
Lesson by Michael Molina, animation by TED-Ed.

[@SevenMilliFrog]

Once upon a time South America lived harmoniously alongside Africa and then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

Only the Pangaea master of all 7 continents could stop them but when we needed him the most he vanished

Props to the animator! This is a great unique style :)

I suspect this was like a musician recording a demo with the low-tech instruments he had available and then realizing, "Hey, this is better than I imagined!" I agree. Very well done, whatever the inspiration behind it.

@William Russell Stop Motion is an animation style though.

Heh, don't you mean... POPS to the animator? I didn't realize this was 7 years ago. And also did you respond to a comment you made 7 years ago? Legendary.

This would actually be a really cool pop-up book :)

[@Dudekahedron]

No one honestly considers lunar drag, solar drag, or centrifical force as driving plate motion anymore. The strength of these 'forces' are far far too small. Plate motion is driven by slab push, slab pull, and mantle convection.

[@TamelaVilla]

hello from 2018, where i dont have earth science as a subject anymore and so here i am regretting why i didnt dig hard enough 4 years ago when earth sci was still part of my junior high curriculum :( also narrator i love your voice dont stop narrating ted ed vids plz

There are five geosphere spheres according to a mecanical point of view: lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core (endosphere) and inner core (endosphere). Only mention four are mentioned in this video.

What about Ridge push and Slab Pull? Were those theorized after this video was created?

[@queenmorales4810]

I loved it..... It was awesome!!!!!! Learned alot

[@nekroneko]

You've learned nothing if Plate Tectonics is proven wrong someday as I suspect it will be. Still, it is a cool little animation and explanation of the theory.

[@Carpetman8900]

Great animation, but there are two big inaccuracies that should be noticed. 1) The layers of the Earth's inside are very much not to scale, but I can see, why you choose to focus on just the names of the layers and not their relative thickness. 2) BUT! You actually show two different theories of the Earth's inside! One defined by depth/density (crust, mantle, cores) - and one defined by temperature/pressure (lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere). You will often see them mixed together, but I think one terminology is plenty for students - unless they want to study geology. With that said, the concept of the continental and oceanic crusts floating on the hotter and more dense lithosphere is brilliant for demonstrations!
