  2. Rodinia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodinia

    Little is known about the paleogeography before the formation of Rodinia. Paleomagnetic and geologic data are only definite enough to form reconstructions from the breakup of Rodinia [17] onwards. Rodinia is considered to have formed between 1.3 and 1.23 Ga and broke up again before 750 Ma. [18] Rodinia was surrounded by the superocean Mirovia.

  3. Mirovia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirovia

    Mirovia or Mirovoi (from Russian мировой, mirovoy, meaning "global") was a hypothesized superocean which may have been a global ocean surrounding the supercontinent Rodinia in the Neoproterozoic Era, about 1 billion to 750 million years ago. [1]

  4. Grenville orogeny - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenville_orogeny

    The Grenville orogeny was a long-lived Mesoproterozoic mountain-building event associated with the assembly of the supercontinent Rodinia. Its record is a prominent orogenic belt which spans a significant portion of the North American continent, from Labrador to Mexico, as well as to Scotland.

  5. Terra Australis Orogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_Australis_Orogen

    The formation of the Terra Australis Orogen is associated with the breakup of Rodinia at the end of the Neoproterozoic Era and the creation of Panthalassa, the paleo-Pacific Ocean, and it was succeeded by the Gondwanide orogeny with the formation of the supercontinent Pangea in the middle Paleozoic Era. [1] [2]

  6. Baltica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltica

    Baltica (in white, at the centre of the image, with outline of present-day Europe for reference) Baltica is a paleocontinent that formed in the Paleoproterozoic and now constitutes northwestern Eurasia, or Europe north of the Trans-European Suture Zone and west of the Ural Mountains.

  7. Vietnam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam

    Vietnam, [e] [f] officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, [g] [h] is a country at the eastern edge of mainland Southeast Asia, with an area of about 331,000 square kilometres (128,000 sq mi) and a population of over 100 million, making it the world's fifteenth-most populous country.

  8. Greater Adria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Adria

    Greater Adria was a paleomicrocontinent that existed from 240 to 140 million years ago. It is named after Adria, a geologic region found in Italy, where evidence of the microcontinental fragment was first observed.

  9. East African Orogeny - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_African_Orogeny

    Rather, it was the piecemeal assembly of several much smaller cratonic elements that once formed an earlier supercontinent (today known as Rodinia), a process that eventually culminated in the relatively short-lived Gondwanan supercontinent. [2] Two partly incomparable scenarios have been proposed for this assembly. [4]
