Arctic Tectonic Evolution: Mid-Jurassic to Recent Using PLATES Animation Software

Explore the tectonic evolution of the Arctic region from the Mid-Jurassic to Recent times through the innovative PLATES Animation Software. This animation showcases reconstructions every 30 million years, offering insights into the geological changes over time. Delve into key periods like the Late Jurassic, Early Cretaceous, Late Cretaceous, and more, culminating in the Present Day. Discover the dynamic nature of the Arctic region's geological history in this educational presentation.
