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.
However, supercontinent cycles and Wilson cycles were both involved in the creation of Pangaea and Rodinia. [ 6 ] Secular trends such as carbonatites , granulites , eclogites , and greenstone belt deformation events are all possible indicators of Precambrian supercontinent cyclicity, although the Protopangea–Paleopangea solution implies that ...
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.
The supercontinent Pangaea was rifting during the Triassic—especially late in the period—but had not yet separated. The first nonmarine sediments in the rift that marks the initial break-up of Pangea—which separated New Jersey from Morocco—are of Late Triassic age; in the U.S., these thick sediments comprise the Newark Supergroup.

Aurora police responded to the Edge at Lowry Apartments just before 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday after receiving a report of an armed home invasion involving a stabbing and kidnapping, the department ...
The Alleghanian orogeny, a result of three separate continental collisions. USGS. The immense region involved in the continental collision, the vast temporal length of the orogeny, and the thickness of the pile of sediments and igneous rocks known to have been involved are evidence that at the peak of the mountain-building process, the Appalachians likely once reached elevations similar to ...
Families of Israeli hostages held a rally in New York City's Central Park on Sunday, and called for President Biden and President-elect Trump to bring them home. "Seize the opportunity, seal the ...
