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 exactly...

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. Many people have heard of Pangaea, the supercontinent that included all continents on Earth and began to break up about 175 million years ago.

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]

Jan 5, 2008 · In our preferred Rodinia model, the assembly process features the accretion or collision of continental blocks around the margin of Laurentia. Like the supercontinent Pangaea, Rodinia lasted about 150 million years after complete assembly.

Rodinia, meaning "Motherland" in Russian, was a key supercontinent during the Proterozoic Eon, existing from approximately 1.1 billion to 750 million years ago.

Identifying Neoproterozoic continental margins, which are primarily extensional 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.

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.

A new model of Rodinia is proposed, integrating the most recent palaeomagnetic data with current stratigraphic, geochronological and tectonic constraints from around the world.
