- autokad 2y agoyeah, they expand faster at first and slow down afterwards until something else happens. I was looking at the ocean floor and using smooth ocean floor as 'fast moving' and rough ocean floor as 'slow moving'. South America is moving 3 cm / year. using that with the ocean floors and some guestimation,,, between 120 and 113 m years ago SA moved about 12 cm / year and slowed down to 3 betwen 113 m years ago and now. Assuming no movement from Africa
