  2. Supercontinent cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercontinent_cycle

    Map of Pangaea with modern continental outlines. The supercontinent cycle is the quasi-periodic aggregation and dispersal of Earth's continental crust.There are varying opinions as to whether the amount of continental crust is increasing, decreasing, or staying about the same, but it is agreed that the Earth's crust is constantly being reconfigured.

  3. Supercontinent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercontinent

    A supercontinent cycle is the break-up of one supercontinent and the development of another, which takes place on a global scale. [4] Supercontinent cycles are not the same as the Wilson cycle, which is the opening and closing of an individual oceanic basin. The Wilson cycle rarely synchronizes with the timing of a supercontinent cycle. [1]

    Continental assembly and uplift also meant increasingly arid land climates, favoring the evolution of amniote animals and seed plants, whose eggs and seeds were better adapted to dry climates. [40] The early drying trend was most pronounced in western Pangaea, which became a center of the evolution and geographical spread of amniotes.

    Like most breakups, the separation of continents is not a quick and painless process.. Take the supercontinent Gondwana, for example. Some 180 million years ago, the landmass separated from what ...

    The supercontinent will be encircled by a global ocean, the Neopanthalassan Ocean (meaning "new" Panthalassan Ocean), [7] which encircles half the Earth. [9] The Earth is expected to have a hothouse climate with an average global temperature of 28 °C (82 °F). [7] The only areas likely to be habitable for land mammals are those closest to the ...

    Hence, most geologists would conclude that the Earth was active at that time. It is also commonly accepted that during the Precambrian, the Earth went through several supercontinent breakup and rebuilding cycles (Wilson cycle). [14] In the late Proterozoic (most recent), the dominant supercontinent was Rodinia (~1000–750 Ma).

  9. Pannotia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pannotia

    Pannotia was centred on the South Pole, hence its name. Pannotia (from Greek: pan-, "all", -nótos, "south"; meaning "all southern land"), also known as the Vendian supercontinent, Greater Gondwana, and the Pan-African supercontinent, was a relatively short-lived Neoproterozoic supercontinent that formed at the end of the Precambrian during the Pan-African orogeny (650–500 Ma), during the ...
