India - Asia (Himalayan) Collision

India-Asia Continental Collision, 60 million years ago to present, cut-globe view.
Dedicated to Peter Molnar to honor his lifelong research on this spectacular continental collision, on the occasion of his 60th Birthday Symposium, Colorado, 2004.  (Finally completed in 2007.)
Created by Tanya Atwater with extensive reviews and edits by Peter Molnar.  Made using Photoshop and Morph, with original continental outlines on the globe from http://www.odsn.de/odsn/services/paleomap/

Twelve-second and four-second versions are offered.  My recommendation: download both. The latter, speeded up version is just for fun, to emphasize the drama of the collision.
