Rodinia was the continent that existed 0.7 bya.
Before all of our continents split apart, due to tectonic activity, they were all together. Because of this, they were just one continent, called Pangea, which was a super continent. Evidence has proved that the continent did exist, because the same species of animals have been found all over the world.
Just think this.....is the solar system did NOT exist then we would not exist.
The oldest was called Rodinia, formed during Precambrian time a billion years ago. Another one, Pannotia, was formed 600 million years ago..
AnswerGondwana and Rodinia.Actually, Rodinia was before Pangea, but Gondwana and Laurasia were after Pangea. Gondwana to the south to make the southern continents, and Laurasia to the north to make the northern continents.
1100 mya (million years ago) the 1st known supercontinent was formed , Rodinia, thru a series of chemical reactions over the course of M.Y.A. Millions of yrs of rain coupled w/ the moving crust, allowed bodies of granite to rise from the oceanic world. Rodinia was a barren wasteland for it's time, (this era known as "snowball earth")but it would usher in a baby-boom of marine organisms. Thus the oceans turned blue & beneath the earth the continental " drift" was on the move. The 2nd configuration is hypothetical to most scientists it has become known as Pannotia(600-540 Mya). Pannotia comes from greek for "all seas", this is due to the Iapetus ocean tearing Rodinia apart.
facts about rodinia
Rodinia formed about 1.3 billion years ago.
Scientists found evidence in Rodinia in Antartica.
no
Rodinia is a supercontinent that existed between 1300 - 600 million years ago.
Pangea
The last one was called Pangea about 300 million years ago, but there have been several before that. Earths life is about 4.5 billion years old and so has gone through many cycles of supercontinents, the one before Pangea was called Pannotia 600 million years ago and before that Rodinia.
Pannotia was the name of the supercontinent before Pangia.
According to geologists, a rodinia are segmented landmasses that come together and form a supercontinent. Studies indicate that rodinia existed between 1100 and 750 million years ago during the Neoproterozoic period when earths crust had broke.
