Figure 2 > Genealogy tree representing the temporal evolution of academic and commercial , global plate tectonic models developed by different groups , and their geological time span . The difference between global and partial Earth is explained in Figure 3 . The information in this figure was synthesized to the best of the authors ’ knowledge ( grew from Vérard , 2018 and Chris Scotese pers . comm ., London , 2017 ).
