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.
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 ...
Atlantica and continents Nena and Ur and some minor plates formed the supercontinent Rodinia about 1 Ga ago. Between 1–0.5 Ga Rodinia split into three new continents: Laurasia and East and West Gondwana; Atlantica became the nucleus of West Gondwana. [1] During this later stage, the Neoproterozoic era, a Brasiliano-Pan African orogenic system ...
The Pan-African Ocean is a hypothesized paleo-ocean whose closure created the supercontinent of Pannotia. [1] The ocean may have existed before the break-up of the supercontinent of Rodinia.
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]
When the break-up of Rodinia was complete c. 0.6 Ga Baltica became an isolated continent — a 200 million year period when Baltica was truly a separate continent. [12] Laurentia and Baltica formed a single continent until 1.265 Ga which broke up some time before 0.99 Ga.
