The view of the globe as seen
from the observation point with coordinates 45oS and 210oE,
At the instant of dimensionless time t = 14.0298
a supercontinent if formed from three continents. At the
instant of dimensionless time t = 14.03296 all the five
continents unite into a single supercontinent - Pangea. By
the instant of dimensionless time t = 14.0355
there remains, following the breakup of Pangea, a system of
hot ascending mantle convection flows similar to the giant
hot anomaly beneath the Pacific Ocean.
