The 30 pages that link to Paleogeography, each with the reason it gives.
EoceneRelated: Eocene reconstructions show continents, coastlines, and seaways in positions unlike today’s.
Permian–Triassic extinction eventNarrower topic: The arrangement of continents and oceans shaped climate and habitat vulnerability.
PaleobotanyRelated: Plant distributions help trace shifting continents and connections between landmasses.
OrogenyRelated: Ancient orogens help reconstruct past continents, oceans, and plate configurations.
PaleobiogeographyRelated: Ancient coastlines and seaways give fossil locations their changing geographic context.
JurassicRelated: Reconstructions of Jurassic coastlines and seaways change as tectonic evidence improves.
OphioliteRelated: Ophiolite belts help locate vanished oceans and former plate boundaries.
DuneRelated: Ancient dune deposits reveal former deserts, coastlines, and prevailing winds.
GeomorphologyRelated: Ancient landforms and deposits provide evidence for changing landscapes.
RodiniaRelated: Competing paleogeographic maps place Rodinia’s continental blocks differently.
LaurasiaNarrower topic: Laurasia’s outline and position are reconstructed from geological evidence.
TrilobiteRelated: Trilobite distributions help infer connections among ancient seas and continents.
Bering Land BridgeNarrower topic: Paleogeographic reconstructions map the changing extent of the land connection.
Iapetus OceanNarrower topic: Reconstructing Iapetus requires placing its shifting continents and ocean basins through time.
Siberian TrapsNarrower topic: Ancient continental positions place the province within Permian Siberia and its sedimentary basins.
Carbonate platformRelated: Platform deposits reveal ancient coastlines, shallow seas, and basin boundaries.
DoggerlandNarrower topic: Doggerland is reconstructed from evidence for a vanished landscape.

Paleocurrent analysisRelated: Regional flow patterns constrain ancient coastlines, basins, and sediment-routing systems.
Forearc basinRelated: Forearc strata help locate former trenches, arcs, and coastlines.
Stratigraphic unitRelated: Correlated units preserve evidence for past environments and landscapes.
PanthalassaRelated: Reconstructions place Panthalassa around Pangaea despite sparse surviving ocean-floor rocks.
SupercontinentNarrower topic: Supercontinent maps depend on reconstructions that become less certain further back in time.
Continental fragmentRelated: Fragment positions help recover maps of earlier plate configurations.
Historical geologyRelated: It maps how continental positions and ancient environments changed through time.
History of EarthRelated: Ancient maps of land and sea help explain changing climates and ecosystems.
Paleo-Tethys OceanRelated: Paleogeographic maps show the ocean's changing position among ancient continents.
BothriolepisRelated: Its distribution across continents must be interpreted against Devonian geography.
Late Paleozoic icehouseRelated: Uncertain continental positions affect models of ice-sheet extent and climate circulation.
PaleocontinentRelated: Paleocontinents provide the landmasses whose former positions paleogeography maps.
