Ep 25: Plate Tectonics w. Cate
Synopsis
Do you remember back in elementary school when you were learning Geography and you were… making cutouts of the continents… and unconsciously you started matching up the shapes of South America, Africa and so on?
Well at that instant, you were onto something! And that something was the simple spark to the concept of Plate Tectonics!
In this episode, we’ll cover the story behind the discovery of Plate Tectonics, the science of how it occurs. Then we finish out this shindig with a look into the past - from the Coalescence of Earth, all the way to modern day! With a 50 million year projection into the future.
