## EarthViewer Description
What did Earth’s continents and oceans look like 250 million years ago, or even 1 billion years ago? What do we know about the climate back when our planet formed? How has sea level changed since the melting of the last ice age and what does the future hold?

EarthViewer is like a time machine for exploring Earth’s deep history. Based on the latest scientific research, it lets you scroll through the last 4.5 billion years with your fingertips. Follow a favorite landmark, be it Greenland or New York City, as its position shifts through time, or watch a famous fossil like Tiktaalik make an incredible journey from its origin to its current location. Layer your view of shifting continents with data on atmospheric composition, temperature, biodiversity, day length, and solar luminosity, to get a more complete view of our dynamic planet. 

EarthViewer features include:
 
• Continental reconstructions and accompanying data dating back billions of years
• Sea level maps for the last 21,000 year and for 8,000 years into the future
• Global temperature maps for the last 100+ years
• Ability to manipulate the globe and zoom to any location
• Locations of modern cities tracked back over 500 million years
• In-depth features on major geological and biological events in Earth history
• Clickable details on geologic eons, eras, and periods 
• Automated play modes 
• Animations between globe and flat map projections
• Extensive reference list 
• Suggestions for classroom use

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is a non-profit medical research organization that ranks as one of the nation’s largest philanthropies. HHMI’s BioInteractive initiative opens a window on cutting-edge science through interactive web features, short films, virtual labs, and scientific animations. Since teachers play a pivotal role in launching the careers of future scientists and in helping the public understand the beauty and import of science, the BioInteractive team partners with the teaching community to create and distribute media that is engaging and relevant to the science curriculum.

## EarthViewer Reviews in United States

### **--- "I love this app"
I’ve shown it to many many people since I first discovered it.  However what happened to the latest version? The grid no longer shows lat/lon at the chosen age, the globe is transparent and there are some other distorted images across everything. This is on a new ipad and I can send clips if it helps.
-- Lib25geo, 2025-01-07

### *---- "How to exit?"
App really good except can’t exit once loaded on my 5G iPhone.  Have to shut phone down.
-- tom big historian, 2024-03-31

### ****- "Fix ancient earth."
I want to add the period names to the ancient earth but I really like it anyway 2.&3. Is make a better ancient earth just like Algol and add borders to ancient earth
-- fuoygj, 2024-02-17

### ***** "Suggestion"
I downloaded this app 7 years ago and love it! It would be great if we could make a model of the earth address from 20,000bc to 1 million years ago! because I'm studying ancient human migrations
-- JiachenLiu, 2023-04-23

### ***** "Based app"
This app is based
-- Nerdwisdom, 2023-03-20

### ****- "Please more planet’s please and also from Big Bang to today"
Good but I need more than earth like Mars Venus Mercury Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto Moon Sun and we need nore then that like from Big Bang to today to new universe has created by god so
-- cup-cup;), 2022-09-18

### ****- "CN I SEE THE WORLS 1BYFN"
I WOULD alike to see a breakup of Pangea Ultima and Gondwana ultima Pannotia ultima and Rodinia ultama
-- panny nope, 2021-01-24

### ***** "Pangea Ultima"
Add an update where..
You can see the tectonic plate movements in the future, I mean by: continental drift in the future, like, Afro Eurasia, Afro-Eurastralasia, Amasia, Pangea Proxima/Ultima.
If you see this, please listen to me.
-- hahahahhahahah uhh, 2020-12-28

### ***** "Fantastic educational app"
Wow wow wow!
-- F-sam, 2020-10-28

### **--- "Great graphics - worried about the accuracy though"
South Africa which is full of fossils of all kinds shows zero fossils on their map.  This puts everything else in question.
-- Peckoffee, 2020-08-07

### ****- "One little problem"
This is an amazing app.  Thank you.
The only difficulty I have is that I can only exit the app by resetting the iPhone (unless I am missing something).
-- firstadapter, 2020-08-02

### ****- "GREAT but needs a few fixes"
I think this app is a great way of viewing our home planet millions of years ago but you need to fix a few things about the graphics.

1) First of all, in the Hadean Epoch, the Earth’s atmosphere was NOT blue, because the atmosphere was void of oxygen.

2) Second of all, if you compare Antarctica in Paleo Earth and Ice Age Earth, Antarctica in 0 mya in Paleo to Ice Age, the Antarctic doesn’t look the same until about 3500 A.D. and that’s weird.
-- eddiedieppa, 2020-03-27

### ****- "Add More"
Can you add the future of the earth like
Future Earth: 0m - 250m
Far Future Earth: 250m - 5b
-- Countries, Planets, and States, 2020-02-25

### ***-- "Not working with iOS 13"
Has not been updated to work with iOS 13. Up to now, this has been a good app for those of us in geosciences to use as a simple instructional tool for those not familiar with plate tectonics and the evolution of our planet.
-- Geo-Paulo, 2020-02-22

### *---- "Incorrect information"
It says nothing about earth global warming 55 million years ago. It is called Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum where the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased and the average earth temperature was 14 degree F warmer than now, i.e., 73 degree F then vs 59 degree F now.  Instead, it says the earth temperature and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreased 55 million years ago, and we had global warming only recently.
-- >^>^>^>, 2019-09-08

### ***** "Love the realistic continents but could you add…"
The future! I’d like to have continental drift in the future!
-- MCaley79, 2019-03-20

### ***** "Lamp"
Lamp lamp
-- lamp, lamp, 2018-10-24

### ****- "It’s fun"
Good app
-- floridaexists, 2018-08-29

### ***** "WOW"
This app has so much to explore.l barely got started but I love this app and the windows of science it opens!
-- Tmac12375, 2018-03-24

### ***** "Amazing and Fascinating!"
Great for creating a real understanding of Earth's geological history which can be difficult to comprehend.
-- Tom r m, 2018-02-07
