Definición
- Paleogeography is a discipline of geology, geography and paleontology whose aim is the (theoretical) reconstruction of past geography on the surface of the globe. Throughout the geological ages, the layout of continental and oceanic masses (or plates) has changed, resulting in major paleotectonic upheavals that can be traced, in particular by following the displacement of shorelines over time, or the geometric relationships between the formations in question. Paleogeographic reconstruction is sometimes accompanied by paleoclimatological and paleoenvironmental contextual elements.
