from Kaapvaal and
Pilbara cratons . These cratons
can now be found in South Africa
and Western Australia.
formed shortly after Vaalbara from the same cratons
approximately 3 billion years ago. The specifics of this
continent are also very theoretical, and despite its
supercontinent status, the land mass would have
been smaller than modern-day Australia. Ur remained
intact as a part of other supercontinents until Pangaea
split apart.
came together from the merging of Vaalbara and the
newly formed continental crust along the planet’s
equator. At this time, eukaryotic organisms were
emerging in the world’s oceans. As the supercontinent
split apart, geologic events and the rise of oxygen-
producing, single-celled life created the conditions for
the Earth’s first glaciers.
formed about 1.8 billion years ago
and broke up 1.5 billion years ago.
During this time, the first plants
colonized land in the form of red
algae.
Rodinia formed from two-sided subduction, where both
tectonic plates involved are pushed down into the mantle,
rather than just one. Unfortunately, this means the
supercontinent’s formation did not involve much volcanic
activity, leaving less preserved mineral evidence of the
event. However, we do know that during Rodinia’s
existence, the first multicellular organisms began to appear
in oceans around the world.
came together while most land was located at the
Earth’s poles in glacier form. Two oceans, the
Panthalassa and Pan-African, formed and later
merged into one.
Pannotia eventually split apart into four
pieces: Gondwana, Baltica, Siberia and
Laurentia
The Pangaea Ultima theory is the most commonly mentioned. In this
scenario, Africa and Australia will continue their northward courses until
they smash into Europe and Asia. Over millions of years, the Atlantic
Ocean will widen, creating a new underwater mountain range down its
center, until the Americas come full circle and collide with the Euro-
African continent.
The Amasia supercontinent theory is similar to Pangaea Ultima as it also
involves the expansion of the Atlantic, but it instead predicts that the
continents will join together as they move to the North Pole. The
Novopangaea theory is based on this idea but predicts Australia and
Antarctica will join where the Pacific Ocean is today
Our planet is larger
and older than we
can comprehend,
with more history
than we can hope
to learn.
