How difficult would it be to add multiple features and placemarks that moved with plates through time?
Such a fantastic project!
I'm an Earth Science instructor, and we have been using a Google Earth based exercise by a group from JMU for a few years now. The requirement to use Google Earth Pro is yearly becoming more restrictive as students are purchasing more tablets or Chromebooks for use in the classroom instead of PCs or Macs at the same time our equipment budgets are decreasing due to more students technically having "devices." However, showing locations of ancient mountain ranges, fossil species, and ancient glacial coverages among other datasets in their exercise is really powerful for introducing students into the history of the plate tectonics revolution.
Not being familiar with how everything is rendered in js, would you have any suggestions about how to use the georeferenced points and polygons in this KML format to this project or thoughts about how difficult displaying this type of information would be on the current ancient-earth setup?
