Tectonic Globe

Tectonic Globe is an interactive 3D Earth that visualizes plate tectonics over deep time. It drags today's countries and major cities through the Merdith 2021 plate reconstruction model, letting you see where landmasses were up to 1000 million years ago and how they might move 250 million years into the future. Continents retain their color families while the land itself follows plate motion, making geological change tangible and intuitive. The tool solves the problem of abstract plate theory by turning it into a hands-on, visual experience. It is designed for educators, students, and anyone curious about Earth's dynamic surface—whether you want to demonstrate continental drift in a classroom or simply see where your city sat half a billion years ago. The future side is clearly marked as an extrapolated sketch, so it's a playful exploration tool rather than a scientific forecast.
