Poster Print : Continental drift, 100 million years ago
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Continental drift, 100 million years ago
Continental drift, 100 million years ago. Map of the Earth showing the continents some 100 million years after the start of the break-up of the ancient supercontinent of Pangea, and 100 million years before the modern era. The Earths continents move over the surface of the Earth, driven by movements of the fluid mantle below the crust. This stage in the history shows the emerging shapes of some of todays continents. It will take another 350 million years from this point before the next supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, forms

Discover the fascinating history of our planet with Media Storehouse's Poster Prints featuring the continental drift, 100 million years ago. This captivating image from Science Photo Library takes us back in time, showing a map of the Earth as the continents began to drift apart some 100 million years after the break-up of the ancient supercontinent of Pangea. Ideal for educational settings, offices, or personal use, this poster print is a great conversation starter and a beautiful addition to any space. Immerse yourself in the wonders of geology and explore the ever-changing landscape of our planet.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back 100 million years ago, to a time when the ancient supercontinent of Pangea began its gradual break-up. The map of Earth showcases the emerging shapes of today's continents, revealing the fascinating process of continental drift. As we gaze upon this illustration, we witness the fluid mantle beneath Earth's crust driving the movement of these land masses. The white background beautifully contrasts with the vibrant colors representing each continent: European, Australian, African, Asian, South American and North American. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder that our planet is constantly evolving and transforming over vast periods of time. During this stage in history, some 100 million years before our modern era, we can observe how these continents were taking shape. However, it would take another staggering 350 million years for the formation of Pangea Ultima - the next supercontinent. This mesmerizing image not only highlights geological and geographical aspects but also sparks curiosity about our planet's prehistoric past. It provides an opportunity to reflect on how plate tectonics and continental drift have shaped Earth's landscapes throughout millions of years. Science Photo Library has once again captured a remarkable moment in planetary history through their stunning artistry and attention to detail.
