The Western Interior Seaway also known as the Cretaceous Seaway, the Niobraran Sea, and the North American Inland Sea was a large inland sea that existed during the mid- to late Cretaceous period as well as the very early Paleogene, splitting the continent of North America into two landmasses, Laramidia to the west and Appalachia to the east. The ancient sea stretched from the Gulf of Mexico and through the middle of the modern-day countries of the United States and Canada, meeting with the Arctic Ocean to the north. At its largest, it was 2,500 feet deep, 600 miles wide and over 2,000 miles long.

The Seaway was created as the Farallon tectonic plate subducted under the North American Plate during the Cretaceous Period. As plate convergence proceeded, the younger and more buoyant lithosphere of the Farallon Plate subducted at a shallow angle, in what is known as a "flat slab". This shallowly-subducting slab exerted traction on the base of the lithosphere, pulling it down an...

Photography is all about using light to capture the emotion and beauty of a fleeting moment.
