Continents during the Tertiary, illustration. Elliptical projection of the Earth's continents as they appeared during the Tertiary (66 to million years ago). This is roughly equivalent to the Paleogene Period and Neogene Period. The shape and appearance of the continents have changed many times over the history of the Earth, driven by the process of plate tectonics.
