The pangaea app dynamically shows the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea and the positions of the continents over the last 200 million years. Significant events are indicated by position (longitude) and time (millions of years ago). Several events have additional information available by touching an "info" button.
Another beautiful app that we recommend is Wonders of Geology, published by Mikaya Digital. This app is a combination aerial photography and geology tour. The author, Michael Collier, has multi-faceted talents including pilot, geologist, phenomenal poetic writer and narrator, as well as aerial photographer of amazing geological landscapes. App software design and programming by Tasa Graphic Arts, Inc. Illustrations and animations of geologic processes by Dennis Tasa.
