    Extractions: Colorado Plateau Geosystems, Inc. Colorado Plateau Geosystems Inc provides paleogeographic maps of the ancient world. The paleogeographic maps show the varied landscapes of the ancient Earth through hundreds of millions of years of geologic time, including distribution of ancient shallow seas, deep ocean basins, mountain ranges, coastal plains, and continental interiors. Tectonic features shown include subduction zones, island arcs, mid-ocean ridges and accreting terranes. Latest geologic data from the scientific literature are used to compile and construct the ancient Earth. Paleogeographic maps have multiple uses. Paleogeography is a synthesis and can only be accomplished from extensive geologic data. Therefore, paleogeographic maps portray immense amounts of data in a single view. This may be their single greatest value. They also show this data in a way that is interpretable to non-geologists. When used in time sequence, they show trend and pattern through geologic time. They readily display distribution of ancient geologic features at the surface of the Earth. They teach both geologists and non-geologists broad patterns of Earth history. They help satisfy our curiosity concerning what the Earth used to look like - they educate and stimulate. Ronald Blakey

    Neoproterozoic paleogeography and Global Climate SWEAT and the Snowball Earth? Dave Evans and Joe Kirschvink  
    http://www.gps.caltech.edu/MagLab/proj_dave.html
    
    Extractions: SWEAT and the Snowball Earth? Since Eldridge Moores (1991) proposed the "SWEAT" hypothesisthat Antarctica was the Neoproterozoic conjugate rift margin to western North Americamany continental reconstructions for Late Proterozoic time have been proposed (Hoffman, 1991; Kirschvink, 1992a; McKerrow et al., 1992; Dalziel, 1992; Dalziel et al., 1994). Some models (e.g., those by Hoffman and Dalziel) rely heavily on pre-existing tectonic units, such as the ~1-Ga "Grenvillian" orogenic belts, as "piercing points" between reconstructed continental margins. In addition, two unpaired passive margins of the same age (in this case Vendian-Cambrian) can be rejoined to a supposed pre-rift state. Unfortunately, the solutions to this problem are non-unique; if a Late Proterozoic supercontinent (Rodinia) existed as many now suspect, we should find many penecontemporaneous orogenic belts contributing to its formation and many similarly-aged passive margins resulting from its demise. Paleomagnetism and geochronometry of Neoproterozoic rocks can position the continents to within about +/-5° latitude and +/-10 Ma. Many rocks of this age seem well enough preserved to retain primary magnetization. At present, however, most Precambrian paleomagnetic studies have not proven that magnetizations are primary, i.e., the same age as the rock; and some Late Proterozoic continental blocks (e.g., Rio de la Plata craton) have not been sampled at all (Van der Voo, 1993). Broadening the paleomagnetic database with "anchor" paleopoles from various cratons is now the most efficient step toward reconstructing the Neoproterozoic world.

Consultant Geologist, 09347 Puentedura (Burgos), Spain This model holds that the regional plate tectonic history of the area between continental North and South America is simply one of NW-SE extension and sinistral offset. Pangean paleogeography of North and South America ( Figure 1 ) is reconstructed by: Removal of oceanic (Gulf of Mexico, Yucatan Basin, Cayman Trough and Caribbean) and island arc material (Greater, Lesser and Netherlands-Venezuelan Antilles). Removal of continental/transitional crust extension (Gulf of Mexico and Venezuela margins, Florida-Bahamas platform, Nicaragua Rise). Removal of sinistral offset between continental areas of North and South America and between the Maya and Chortis Blocks. Restoration of northwestern South America (Bolivar Block) to the southwest.

57. Origin And Formation Of The Grand Canyon
    Article introducing a model for the evolution of the Colorado River and the origin of the Grand Canyon.  
    http://www.durangobill.com/Paleorivers_preface.html
    
    Extractions: There are two stories regarding Grand Canyon geology. Part one concerns the actual rock layers, and in particular, when and how they were deposited. This subject has been covered in depth in many other papers. Part two of Grand Canyon geology deals with why the Colorado River happened to pick this particular path allowing it to cut the Grand Canyon. This research paper is an attempt to depict the geologic history of the Colorado River, and in particular, how it formed the Grand Canyon. The time period starts with the late Cretaceous and continues through the Tertiary to the "Grand Canyon Event" in the late Miocene. As far as I know, no one else has presented such a model. Since the model is the first of its kind, it should be regarded as a "trial theory" as opposed to generally accepted knowledge. As such it will be subject to future "refinements". Any additional knowledge that other observers may have would thus be appreciated. Some of the feedback that I have received disagrees with the conclusions that I have presented in the model. Readers should understand that better models may exist or may be developed. My policy will be to update the model if there is evidence indicating there is a minor problem, or pull the model entirely if there is evidence that can not be resolved. In either case I will pay attention to other conclusions, but evidence must be provided if it involves changing anything.

58. Plate Movements And Climate Change
    Student exercise from Karen L. Bice of Pennsylvania State University.  
    http://www.beloit.edu/sepm/Earth_Works/Plate_Movements.html
    
    Extractions: Anticipated Learning Outcomes Students will gain an understanding of how the movements of the Earth's plates over the past 180 million years (abbreviated My) may have affected the climate of the continents. Students will use maps of ancient continental positions and, with some basic concepts about climate zones, hypothesize what climate changes may have occurred due to plate movements. Background Climate is simply weather "averaged" over a time period of one year or more. In general terms, the climate in most of the United States and Canada is "temperate". Moving to the south, closer to the equator, the climate is "subtropical" and then "tropical". At the Earth's poles the climate is termed "polar". Each of these climate zones is characterized by a distinctive temperature range, rainfall amount, and type of vegetation. In a very simplified sense, climate zones are oriented roughly parallel to lines of latitude about the Earth. However, according to the theory of plate tectonics, the continents "ride" on dynamic plates which make up the Earth's surface. Although the resulting movement of the continents is very slow, over millions of years it is enough to get a continent from one place to another, and that movement may take the landmass through several latitudes and climate zones.

60. Chapter 1 Of Ice Ages And Astronomical Causes
    First chapter of a book by Professor Richard A. Muller.  
    http://muller.lbl.gov/pages/IceAgeBook/history_of_climate.html
    
    Extractions: brief introduction to the history of climate Beginning in the early 1900s, the climate of the world began to warm. This is evident in Figure 1-1, which shows the average Earth surface temperature from 1880 through 1999. The temperature is an area-weighted average over the land and ocean compiled by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, using an averaging technique devised by Quayle et al. ; see also . In the plot, "zero" temperature is defined as the temperature in 1950. The fine line shows the monthly temperatures; the thicker line shows the 12 month yearly averages. th century had a temperature rise of nearly one degree Celsius. That may not sound like a lot, but its effects are quite noticeable. In Europe, the great glaciers of the Alps, such as the Mer de Glace near Chamonix, have been in retreat, and the canals of Holland almost never freeze over, as they did in an earlier era to allow Hans Brinker to silver skate into legend. The effects elsewhere on the globe are more severe, with large areas of Central Africa, once fertile, becoming arid and no longer capable of supporting a large population. Although the reason for this warming is not fully understood, many climate scientists think it is the result of the addition of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by humans.
