Explore the profound impact of plate tectonics on Earth's climate in this 22-minute educational video. Discover five major instances where tectonic activity triggered global climate change, spanning from the breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent over 700 million years ago to the formation and subsequent breakup of Pangea. Learn about the mechanisms behind slow and fast climate change, and understand how continental collisions and separations have shaped our planet's climate history. Gain insights into the complex interplay between geological processes and atmospheric conditions, and how these events have influenced life on Earth over millions of years.
