Computer Models

This is a truly fascinating article. I remember my science teachers dismissing the theory of Plate Tectonics, even as we looked at the shapes of the continents on the map, how they fit together like pieces of a puzzle. I remember how triumphant I felt when I heard about the existence of the ocean ridges. But even after taking a class in paleontology, I never thought to imagine how the underlying process which results in volcanoes and earthquakes may change the shape of the landscape, or what that might look like millions of years from now. Even though the changes are, practically speaking, almost unnoticeable, of course these have a sizeable impact even within our own lifetimes. Of course, computers could help to create models (and I am sure they are) for any new hypothesis. Bravo!
