Question

A. Using the map labeled “Cut up this map to make a past reconstruction of Geoworld,” cut

along the margins of the Elrond Sea and put the Bilbo and Frodo Continents back together in

their original configuration, forming the Bilbo/Frodo supercontinent. The Misty Mountains and

the Rivendell Mountains are fold-and-thrust mountains. The age of deformation in both

mountain ranges is 200 million years before present.

In creating your Geoworld of the past you are reversing the effects of the Hobbitt Ridge. You also need to reverse the effects of plate movements that occurred in the Aragorn Ocean (cut along plate boundaries as needed to show this effect). Remember that the size of the Geoworld planet does not shrink or grow, so the addition of new crust must be compensated for with a loss elsewhere. 

What would my final map look like?
