  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. South China Craton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Craton

    The South China Block is proposed to be located between eastern Australia and western Laurentia in the interior of Rodinia. Rodinia assembled through global collision events from 1300 Ma to 900 Ma. [30] It is expected that the central part of Rodinia should not record any later collision event since it had already amalgamated. However, there is ...

  7. Paleocontinent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocontinent

    Rodinia lasted for 250 mya and then began to come apart between 850 and 800 mya. The continent began to break part at a single point but then fractured and ripped open in three different directions. Two of the three rifts that were created were successful and the third failed.

    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.

    About 2.5 billion years ago (in the Siderian Period), Siberia was part of a continent called Arctica, along with the Canadian Shield.Around 1.1 billion years ago (in the Stenian Period), Siberia became part of the supercontinent of Rodinia, a state of affairs which lasted until the Tonian about 750 million years ago when it broke up, and Siberia became part of the landmass of Protolaurasia.
