Rodinia (from the Russian родина, rodina, meaning "motherland, birthplace" [1] [2] [3]) was a Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic supercontinent that assembled 1.26–0.90 billion years ago (Ga) [4] and broke up 750–633 million years ago (Ma). [5]

Rodinia, in geologic time, a supercontinent that incorporated almost all the landmasses on Earth for about 450 million years during the Proterozoic Eon (2.5 billion to 541 million years ago).

Jan 13, 2024 · Rodinia was the second supercontinent to form in the Precambrian period, coming together around a billion years ago and breaking up around 700 million years ago. Researchers don't know...

Rodinia, meaning "Motherland" in Russian, was a key supercontinent during the Proterozoic Eon, existing from approximately 1.1 billion to 750 million years ago. This vast landmass, centered around the equator and largely barren, was assembled through the collision of multiple cratons, notably marked by the Grenville orogeny - a massive mountain ...

Mar 12, 2023 · Rodinia was another supercontinent that existed approximately 1.1 billion years ago during the Neoproterozoic era. It was another potential precursor to the better-known Pangea. The continent formed through collisions between smaller land masses, eventually covering almost one-third of the planet's surface.

Dec 14, 2017 · Each supercontinent has its quirks, but one, called Rodinia, assembled from 1.3 to 0.9 billion years ago and broken up about 0.75 billion years ago, is particularly odd.

Jan 5, 2008 · This paper presents a brief synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the formation and break-up of the early-Neoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia, and the subsequent assembly of Gondwanaland.

in origin, supports recognition of the Neoproterozoic fragmentation pattern of Rodinia and outlines the major continental masses that, prior to the breakup, formed the supercontinent. Using this pattern, Rodinia can be assembled by fitting the pieces together. Evidence for Neoproterozoic margins is fragmentary. The most apparent margins

Rodinia, meaning "homeland", is the name of a supercontinent. It had most or all of Earth 's landmass when the Neoproterozoic era began. [1] Rodinia existed between 1.1 billion and 750 million years ago. It formed from parts of an older and poorly understood supercontinent. [2][3]

Rodinia is a supercontinent believed to have existed in early Neoproterozoic time, consisting of Laurentia at its center surrounded by approximately 6-8 other cratons. Its breakup started around 800 million years ago, with final separations occurring as young as 600 million years ago.
