Hello, America is getting further away from Europe.
This is not a political statement, but a geological fact.
Just as the Pacific is getting smaller, the Red Sea bigger, the Himalayas are still going up, and one day the Horn of Africa will be a large island.
These are findings from the theory of plate tectonics, a revolutionary idea in twentieth century geology that saw the continents of the earth to be dancing to the music of deep time, a dance of incredible sl slowness, yet powerful enough to throw up the mountains and pour away the oceans, and dictate the character of the planet.
Plate tectonics was a genuine scientific revolution.
It made geologists and many more besides profoundly rethink what the Earth was, how it worked, and how it related to all the things in it.
With me to discuss plate tectonics at Joe Cannes, senior fellow in the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds.
