The complete history. (As best as I could reconstruct it).

2nd version of the original.
New stuff:
Completely new animation from -1380 Myr to -750 Myr.
Polished up animation because I animated the original quite sloppily.
New animation from -3300 Myr to -2100 Myr.

Yes
Now that scientists have discovered another continent under Europe, how does that change this animation?
@@jenpw1525 yes
Sorry there is no logical or scientific reason for the continents to float about. This theory is incorrectly premised. Before you all get into knee jerk reactions, think. Physics theorizes most probably correctly that E= mc2 which can resolve to m=E/c2 that is mass (matter) = Energy / Speed of light multiplied by the speed of light (Squared). As Light that strikes Earth penetrates the ground it slows and there is a certain reaction that takes place which turns that Energy into Matter building blocks, as this has been happening for 4. something BILLION years, Earth expands and the movement that we call Tectonic Plate movement, is naught but the expansion of the planet. See here for a better explanation: kzhead.info/sun/fNWjZbhtaoCgq4k/bejne.html Enjoy.

Saddest anime break ups 1. Africa and South America 2. India and Madagascar
The number one should be Ur, it lasted 3 billion years before it split
No one cares about Anime
Father Gabriel Stokes is your name anime?
@@heavypokelover5532 Nope
1. Ur
Idk why but it makes me uncomfortable to know that in 10s of millions of years all the continents will be messed up again. This configuration just seems right.
@Sainayoro yeah but like, it's perfect the way it is now, you can't deny that
The whole solar system is perfect and iconic. So are our continents, earth and (singular) moon
the reason you think it seems right is because you are habitude to it
they're all in groups right now but in the future they will be MIXED UP AGAIN
No longer “third world” to bullying
Where boys cried: the breakup of Pangea Where men cried: the breakup of Ur, a continent made up of modern day South Africa and parts of Australia and Antarctica that existed together in some form or another for the past 3 billion years. It was among the first and it had existed for some form for the past 3 billion years before breaking up in the breakup of Gondwana. Truly a hero of landmasses. RIP Ur, we will miss you 😭😭
I've loved Ur since the dawn of time.. Rest in peace, Ur. I hope you reunite in Pangea Proxima....
I love the way their story ended. The Asia part didn't want to seperate from Africa, so it ended up staying longer, and when it left it took a piece of Africa with it, creating Madagascar. The Asia part is now India.

Wow.. *that is relatable!*
Take over 10 million years
Around 2.9 billion years ago, does it look like your head has been lopped off?
Yes
For viewers who have the time, follow Ur from 0:19 onwards. It contains pieces of Africa, Antarctica, Asia and Australia. Just keep your eyes on that little piece of land until it splits up at at 4:45 Why am I telling you this? Think about it, those 4 pieces were connected together the whole time for nearly 3,000,000,000 years and only then got separated. That's nearly two thirds the lifetime of the earth. That duration consisted of practically the entire history of multi-cellular life on Earth. It survived literally every supercontinent that ever existed in history! That final separation was kinda heart breaking.
I think Kaapvaal, Pilbara, Rayner, & South India formed Ur at that time.
When u get emotional over a fucking rock
India, Antarctica, and Madagascar
A small piece broke off and joined again after billions of years

It's really interesting how Pangea is so popular, yet it looks like the longest-lasting supercontinent was actually Columbia.
Yeah just because Columbia lasted more than pangaea doesn't mean its better. Also pangaea was bigger
Java Sea Actually the biggest supercontinent was Rodinia. The longest lasting was actually Vaalbara, lasting almost a billion years. Both Columbia and Pangaea are a good mix of the two.
I think the long lasting is Atlantica because It is part of Columbia
I think because it was like the last supercontinent before now
COLUMBIA FOR LIFE and longer because it spanned hundreds of millions of years

The scale of time becomes clear when you realize that in one life time they move about 2-3 m and even after a thousand human lifetimes, the continents have barely moved more than a couple of miles. Real changes are noticeable after about a hundred thousand lifetimes and it takes a million lifetimes for a supercontinent to split. Assuming you lived a hundred years between births and deaths, You'd have to be born, live and die 33 million times to experience everything in this video. That's a hundred million generations !
You sure? "Real changes are noticeable after about a hundred thousand lifetimes and *it takes a million lifetimes for a supercontinent to split."* A major event in Earth's history was a new supercontinent forming, Columbia, then the next major event was when Columbia split.
Why are you measuring in life times

Americas: Get the popcorn. Madagascar: GOD DAMN IT! CAN WE HAVE OUR ARGUMENT IN PEACE? Africa: If you join me, You'll get security and a hot date with Eurasia as a bonus. Madagascar: I'm down. Eurasia: Quit it you. 😘😘😘 India, you with us? India: Sure. Madagascar is smokin' like a fire with beautiful - Madagascar: Shut up please. Australia? Antarctica? Antarctica: No. Australia: 😭😭😭 I hate all of you! BURN IN HELL YOU BASTARDS!!! 😭😭😭 Antarctica: I'm Sorry Australia. Please forg- Australia: NO! I HATE YOU! GO DIE IN HELL! 😭😭😭 EPILOGUE: In the next few million years, everyone moved into their new areas. Australia never got on speaking terms with Antarctica until modernity. Antarctica never fully recovered from the hate. And became a sad cold place that had little company. Australia and Antarctica are the only two continents today not connected with another.
I wish we could see the outlines of the continental plates here. I assume that it’d be pretty hard/impossible to know anything at all about their shapes more than a few hundred million years ago, but still, it’d be neat to see exactly *why* the continents are moving the way they are. And where all of the new land is coming from

I might be a bit biased because I look at the map all the time, but I honestly think the continents as they are now look better than at any other time.
No, it’s because we can’t detail lakes, rivers, other as far back as this, real land masses are super unpredictable, so you are not biased.
4:35 Oh yeah, it's all coming together
You can see the detail get more complex as the video goes on, since we know more about what’s closer to our own time.

If you watch more carefully, the land which made up Ur didn't break apart until much later, at 4:45, as Ur made up all Australia landmass I saw appear, and about half of the Antarctic, as well as India.
this brings me back, its so nostalgic
There was something heartwarming about watching the continents start to look like their modern shapes. Maybe it was being able to recognize modern locations of certain countries.
In case any of you guys missed the post, I am current in the process of making yet another version of Continental Drift, this time it's the long-awaited reversed AND labeled version. In order to render the actual shapes of the continents without distortion (as presented in a projection such as this video's Mollweide globe) the video will be in VR and of course, 8K. It's the closest KZhead is getting to a website with an actual globe. The version will be based on paleomagnetic data wherever possible and a best guess if no data exists, as a result everything before 1 billion years will look different compared here. This is a developmental screenshot showing the reconstruction at 2.1 billion years. This is not how it will look in the final version. cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/284792709846138882/480576663625793557/unknown.png
Algol, k thanks
cool
When will it be finished?
You should totally use the same music. It couldn't be more fitting.
Don't forget to map it onto a globe like you did with the previous version ;)
I saw a bunch of comments being 2 years old or older and I was fine with that. I looked at the video age and went insane about how this video is so good even though it was 7 years old. I don’t even think some people in 2024 that do stuff like this for a living have something like this.

Well done!
NOT THE LABELLED VERSION!!! This had to be made before. This fixes some inaccuracies, and everything is reanimated since I did a sloppy job the first time. New stuff -3300 Myr to -2100 Myr, and -1380 Myr to -750 Myr.
