THE TRIASSIC TIME PERIOD!
[all cheering] - WE'RE SO FAR BACK IN TIME, WE CAN SEE WHEN THE EARTH WAS ONE HUGE CONTINENT!
FEAST YOUR EYES, FOLKS!
PANGAEA.
all: PANGAEA!
- IT REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE ONE BIG LANDMASS!
- IT IS ONE BIG LANDMASS, BUDDY.
WE'RE 200,000,000 YEARS IN THE PAST!
- AND LATER, IN THE JURASSIC TIME PERIOD, A RIFT WILL FORM DOWN THE MIDDLE, BREAKING THIS BIG LANDMASS INTO TWO BIG SEPARATE PIECES OF LAND.
THAT RIFT IS AT THE PLACE WHERE THOSE TWO PLATES ARE PULLING APART!
- HEY, I THINK I CAN SEE THINGS MOVING DOWN THERE.
MAYBE A HERD.
- BUDDY, YOUR KEEN T. REX EYESIGHT STRIKES AGAIN!
TRICIA, LET'S TAKE 'ER DOWN AND GET A CLOSER LOOK!
- AYE, AYE, MR.
CONDUCTOR!
DOWN WE GO!
all: WHEE!
- [groans] - [squawks] HELLO!
- ARE YOU EORAPTORS?
- WELL, YEAH, BUT WHAT IN THE HECK IS THAT THING?
I THOUGHT IT WAS A LOW HANGIN' CLOUD, DON'T YOU KNOW.
- IT'S THE DINOSAUR TRAIN ZEPPELIN.
WE TRAVELLED BACK IN TIME TO SEE PANGAEA.
IT'S SO BIG!
- IT IS BIG, ISN'T IT?
WE LOVE IT!
THE LAND JUST GOES ON AND ON FOREVER.
ERNIE, WATCH THAT RIFT!
DON'T TRIP OVER IT!
- WHERE YOU GUYS RUNNING TO?
- OH, WE'RE ALWAYS MOVING, EITHER LOOKING FOR FOOD OR TRYING NOT TO BE SOMEONE ELSE'S FOOD!
BYE!
- FASCINATING!
THOSE EORAPTORS HAVE NO IDEA THAT IN THE DISTANT FUTURE, PANGAEA WILL DRIFT APART, AND THAT NARROW LITTLE RIFT DOWN THERE WILL BECOME A HUGE GAP-- ACTUALLY, AN OCEAN!
OBSERVE!
EVERYTHING ON ONE SIDE OF THE RIFT WILL MOVE SLOWLY IN ONE DIRECTION.
EVERYTHING ON THE OTHER MOVES IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
all: WHOA!
- AND EVENTUALLY PANGAEA BREAKS INTO WHOLE SEPARATE LANDS, OR WHAT WE CALL CONTINENTS, LIKE WE HAVE TODAY.
- SORRY TO INTERRUPT, CONDUCTOR, BUT IT'S TIME WE FLEW THROUGH THE SKY TIME TUNNEL BACK TO THE CRETACEOUS.
- GOODY!
THEN WE CAN SEE HOW FAR APART THE CONTINENTS HAVE DRIFTED!
ALL RIGHTY, THEN.
LET'S FLY FORWARD IN TIME!
- SHINY, WANT TO HELP ME TAKE THE ZEPPELIN BACK UP?
