Researchers from Utrecht University have developed an online tool that allows users to track any physical place on earth back through 320 million years of geological history. The tool uses magnetic structures locked inside ancient rocks that align with the Earth's magnetic field to map their original latitude. The researchers added new data on tectonic plate movements to enhance the accuracy of the tool. This tool will also help researchers better understand how life on Earth and the Earth’s climate evolved together.
