Paleogeography gives us the spatial context for gathering, managing, visualizing and analyzing a wide array of geological information in a way that is easy to digest. At the end of the day, paleogeography is far more than just an image in a presentation. The paleogeography of the India-Asia collision system is the reconstructed geological and geomorphological evolution within the collision zone of the Himalayan orogenic belt. The continental collision between the Indian and Eurasian plate is one of the world's most renowned and most studied convergent system . Paleogeography focuses on the way the earth looked in ancient times. This is done by studying layers of rock, soil, artifacts, and fossils. Paleogeographers want to learn more about the configuration and movement of the oeans and continents and what kinds of plants and animals existed through history. The PALEOMAP Project publishes the results of its research in a variety of formats useful for teaching and research: Atlases & Animations Atlases & Animations showing the plate tectonic, paleogeographic, climatic, oceanographic, and biogeographic development of the earth during the last 1100 million years.

Paleogeography is the study of historical geography or the geography of particular geological past. Purposes a) Helps to determine Sedimentary Basin Architecture b) Reconstruction of Continents Hafiz Umair Ali, BS Applied Geology(2011-2015) 5 Introduction 6. The study of paleogeography has two principle goals. Map List.

Our Story; Awards and Honors; Publications; Animation; New Projects; FAQ are irrelevant to Silurian paleogeography. Therefore we have tried to identify as many of these later additions as possible, and in the following paragraphs we set out criteria for recognition of modifications to continental outlines, firstly for extensional or passive margins, and secondly for compressive are irrelevant to Silurian paleogeog
