Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t coal form until fungus evolved? Like a few 100 million years of biomass accumulation and nothing to break it down.

Fun fact: sharks are older than the following; trees, Saturns rings, and Polaris (the North Star). Time at that scale is really hard to picture

I feel like with the Appalachians people forget it wasn’t just the Scottish highlands, it was also the Atlas Mountains and Caledonian Mountains - which are in notably different climates

So Appalachia and the Scottish Highlands weren’t part of the same mountain range when they were forming?

Honestly, that was really interesting and informative. That said, my religious high school taught young Earth creationism 😭. 'Murica.

Pangaea was like 275 years ago, we used to just like walk across where the Atlantic is now, no bother 👍🏻

Kind of understandable . Things I know about Pangaea: 1. Land blob, old. 2. The old ( not land blob old ) guitarist for Taking Back Sunday was in a band called Breaking Pangaea ( they were good!)

In the same vein, the Himalayas are only about 50 million years old and the island of Hawai'i is only around 400,00 years old. Geologic time is insane in many ways.

the Appalachians are older than bones! cause animals didn't exist til Pangaea split and they were all still in the ocean!

Wait so they can go as far back as Pangea but when we try to say we’re Irish American they get upset?

Brennan / “R” :
well similar geological features (like mountains of similar size with similar rock & soil content) & climate could end up with flora that fills similar niches and look similar

They do realize that our continent tried to get as far as way from Europe as possible, the land knew.

And timeline aside, the Eastern US was 'attached' to Africa/Iberia — Italy was no where near the Central Pangean Mts

America and Europe didn’t exist lol. That’s what pangea was. Then it broke up (and came together and broke up and came together etc)

It “starts” to break apart. How long did the t take? How fast were the continents moving apart from each other? How long did it take for the continents to get where they currently are?

Now I wanna a video where someone asks random people questions like "Do you think it was better when America and Europe were a single continent?" or "Should we go back to when there were no flowers?"

That mountain range that makes up the Appalachians and the Highlands is older than bones btw. Like older than there were organisms with bones

Just wanted to add to your great post though - you missed non vascular plants! Bryophytes and algae are the originals, the scale of their existence is not comprehensible
