Earth’s surface elevation and mantle density animated through space and time. The Cenozoic (66 – 0 Ma) paleogeography and paleo mantle density anomalies are from Straume et al. (2024). The present day topography is from https://www.gebco.net, while the mantle density anomalies are converted from relative seismic shear wave velocities (SMEAN2; Jackson et al., 2017). The Scientific colour maps ‘oleron‘ and ‘vik‘ are used to represent data accurately and to all readers.
