600 million years of the Earth's history in one file.

With assistance from Dr. Ron Blakey at Northern Arizona University, Valery Hronusov created this fascinating animation of planet Earth's geological history. See how the continents were shaped into their current state with this geological animation exploring 600 million years worth of changes. Use the time slider at the top of the Google Earth client to see the continents morph and shift over time.
