Explore Continents
See how the continents formed and are changing, then learn how to use "shape tweening."
Producer's Note:

This is an animated simulation of a scientific concept, illustrating how the Earth's continents and tectonic plates assumed their current arrangement. The animation plays out against a 600 million year timeline. The user can alter the relative transparency of two information layers—the tectonic plate boundaries and the continents—to emphasize either one. Links to articles on other websites about plate tectonics and continental drift are included for further learning opportunities. This visual simulation of changes that happen over millions of years teaches an otherwise abstract scientific concept in a compelling and clear way.
