Rodinia broke up in the Neoproterozoic, with its continental fragments reassembled to form Pannotia 633–573 Ma. In contrast with Pannotia, little is known about Rodinia's configuration and geodynamic history.
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 ...
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.
Associated with the assembly of the supercontinent Rodinia. Formed folded mountains in eastern North America from Newfoundland to North Carolina, (1100–1000 Ma) Caledonian orogeny – Mountain building event caused by the collision of Laurentia, Baltica and Avalonia, including: East Greenland Orogen – From Cryogenian to Devonian Periods
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.

The brand logo of the "Rodania" watch company. Rodania is a Swiss manufacturer of wristwatches.The company was founded in Grenchen, Switzerland, a city well known for its watch industry.
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]
Rodinia formed after the breakup of the supercontinent Columbia and prior to the assemblage of the supercontinent Gondwana (~500 Ma). [19] The defining orogenic event associated with the formation of Gondwana was the collision of Africa, South America, Antarctica and Australia forming the Pan-African orogeny .
