2. Columbia (supercontinent) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_(supercontinent)

   The supercontinent Columbia about 1.6 billion years ago. Columbia, also known as Nuna or Hudsonland, is a hypothetical ancient supercontinent. It was first proposed by John J.W. Rogers and M. Santosh in 2002 [1] and is thought to have existed approximately (Ma), in the Paleoproterozoic era. The assembly of the supercontinent was likely ...

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]

4. List of paleocontinents - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paleocontinents

   Animation of the break-up of the supercontinent Pangaea and the subsequent drift of its constituents, from the Early Triassic to recent (250 Ma to 0).. This is a list of paleocontinents, significant landmasses that have been proposed to exist in the geological past.

5. Gondwana - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondwana

   Gondwana (/ ɡ ɒ n d ˈ w ɑː n ə /) [1] was a large landmass, sometimes referred to as a supercontinent.The remnants of Gondwana make up around two-thirds of today's continental area, including South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Zealandia, Arabia, and the Indian subcontinent.

6. Ur (continent) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur_(continent)

   Ur is a hypothetical supercontinent that formed in the Archean eon around 3.1 billion years ago (Ga). In a reconstruction by Rogers, Ur is half a billion years older than Arctica and, in the early period of its existence, probably the only continent on Earth, making it a supercontinent despite probably being smaller than present-day Australia.

7. Pangaea Proxima - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea_Proxima

   Pangaea Proxima (also called Pangaea Ultima, Neopangaea, and Pangaea II) is a possible future supercontinent configuration. Consistent with the supercontinent cycle, Pangaea Proxima could form within the next 250 million years.

8. List of orogenies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_orogenies

   The following is a list of known orogenies organised by continent, starting with the oldest in each. The headings are present-day continents, which may differ from the geography contemporary to the orogenies.

9. Amasia (supercontinent) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amasia_(supercontinent)

   Amasia, 100 million years in the future [citation needed]. Amasia is a possible future supercontinent which could be formed by the merger of Asia and the Americas.The prediction relies mostly on the fact that the Pacific Plate is already subducting under Eurasia and the Americas, a process which if continued will eventually cause the Pacific to close.
