Story of Earth: The Tethys Sea |

Where is the Tethys Sea? I was lucky enough to spend time on one of the last vestiges of the Tethys Sea this summer as a heat wave baked the land and sea and me. I floated in the bathtub-warm salty waters on the edge of a once-ocean, knowing that beneath me was the oldest oceanic crust still residing beneath the waves.

Earth’s continents are on the move, as they always have been. Through plate tectonics the landmasses are carried by the motions of the mantle below and are steered by the formation and destruction of oceanic plates. This class will follow the deep time adventures of Earth’s continents, as we learn how they have moved across the Earth’s surface over time, been impacted by volcanism, been shifted by earthquakes, and built by the process of continental accretion. The movements record an echo of the ancient oceans & ecosystems otherwise lost to time. We will track the climate changes recorded in the rocks accumulating on each continent as the landmasses evolved through tropical, temperate, and polar environments in seemingly endless iterations. {OLLI is a learning community for adults age 50+ years old that offers class without homework or tests} |
