The Concept of Deep Time
The Concept of Deep Time is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 3: Deep Time and Pangea in Amplify Science (California) Grade 7.
Key Concepts
To understand how slow moving plates can rearrange the entire world, one must understand geologic time . A movement of 2 centimeters a year seems insignificant in a human lifetime.
However, over hundreds of millions of years—a scale known as deep time —these small movements add up to thousands of kilometers. Deep time is the essential context that makes the theory of plate tectonics mathematically possible.
