Over the millions of years, the plate has drifted several times to and fro between the Antarctic and equatorial latitudes; it has been crushed, pushed up, raised and then lowered again. It has survived several Ice Ages and has been covered by great glaciers. there being the most diverse types of stone to be found,from limestone from prehistoric oceans to volcanic rock.
