Description: Approximate back-in-time locations of 13 modern cities.
You can see how they migrated during the 200 million years relative to
the geographic coordinates. Some cities moved a very long way, like Mumbai (Bombay).
Others, like Tokyo, moved less but with abrupt changes in direction. Oslo made
the most convoluted route, as it kept moving around on a relatively small area,
not too far from where it is currently located. The routes of Perth and
Melbourne seem to be related to each other (not a big surprise), as do the
South American cities Rio de Janeiro, Santiago and Caracas.
