  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. Laurasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurasia

    Laurasia and Gondwana were equal in size but had distinct geological histories. Gondwana was assembled before the formation of Pangaea, but the assembly of Laurasia occurred during and after the formation of the supercontinent. These differences resulted in different patterns of basin formation and transport of sediments.

  4. Superocean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superocean

    The supercontinent Pangaea surrounded by the superocean Panthalassa. A superocean is an ocean that surrounds a supercontinent . It is less commonly defined as any ocean larger than the current Pacific Ocean . [ 1 ]

  5. Supercontinent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercontinent

    Pangaea's supercontinent cycle is a good example of the efficiency of using the presence or lack of these entities to record the development, tenure, and break-up of supercontinents. There is a sharp decrease in passive margins between 500 and 350 Ma during the timing of Pangaea's assembly.

  6. 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]

  7. Panthalassa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panthalassa

    The supercontinent Rodinia began to break up 870–845 Ma probably as a consequence of a superplume caused by mantle slab avalanches along the margins of the supercontinent. In a second episode c. 750 Ma the western half of Rodinia started to rift apart: western Kalahari and South China broke away from the western margins of Laurentia ; and by ...

  9. Natural history of Australia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_history_of_Australia

    The continents that had drifted away from Rodinia drifted together again during the Paleozoic: Gondwana, Euramerica, and Siberia/Angara collided to form the supercontinent of Pangea during the Devonian and Carboniferous periods, some 350 million years ago. Pangea was a short-lived supercontinent; it began to break apart again in the early ...
