MSN: The Pacific Tectonic Plate ‘Pontus’ Has Been Found—It’s Been Missing for 160 Million Years!
Geologists have uncovered the remains of a massive tectonic plate beneath the Pacific Ocean, a plate that had been hidden for over 160 million years. Known as Pontus, this tectonic giant once covered ...
The Pacific Tectonic Plate ‘Pontus’ Has Been Found—It’s Been Missing for 160 Million Years!
The Pontus oceanic plate that was reconstructed by Suzanna van de Lagemaat: its location in the paleo-Pacific ocean 120 million years ago, and its present relicts. An earlier study showed that a large ...
