Climate Record From Bottom of Russian Lake Shows Arctic Was (8°C) Warmer Millions of Years Ago

3. Geology moves in geologic time

Magnetic North may have been to the South a million years ago. However, that doesn’t mean that the Arctic wasn’t at the top of the globe.

This animation (showing Pangaea breaking up to form the continents as we know them) is believed to have taken about 200 Million years.

Continental drift may be as fast as a few centimeters a year (let’s call it at most 10.)

10,000,000 centimeters = 100,000 meters = 100 kilometers

So, let’s call it at most 62 miles in a million years.

(So, the continents haven’t moved very much in the last 1,000,000 years.)
