The west coast of North America split to form the Pan-Mediterranean Sea

The geography of our planet is in flux. Each continent has ricocheted around the globe on one or more tectonic plates,
changing quite dramatically with time. Today, we'll focus on North America and how its familiar landscape and features
emerged over hundreds of millions of years. Our story begins about 750 million years ago. As the super continent Rodinia becomes unstable,
it rifts along what's now the west coast of North America to create the Panthalassa Ocean.
