<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea" target="_blank">Pangea</a> animation using <a href="https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Geo-Projections" target="_blank">d3.geo.orthographic projection.</a>

Tectonic Plate motion simulation
 
Data is from http://www.gplates.org/ under creative commons license

1) Time series data was exported as .shp from <a href="http://www.gplates.org/" target="_blank">GPlates 1.2.0.</a>

2) Converted to GeoJson using <a href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html" target="_blank">ogr2ogr.</a>

3) GeoJson files were compacted into TopoJson format using the <a href="https://github.com/mbostock/topojson/wiki" target="_blank">topojson</a> node.js tool.

Example:

From .shp to GeoJson
		ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON step_000.0.json  reconstructed_0.00Ma.shp

From GeoJson to TopoJson using -simplification of 25 
		topojson -s 25 --force-clockwise true -o topostep_000.json    step_000.json

This provides very good compression: 2.89Mb GeoJson to 340KB TopoJson
