Laurentia was completely surrounded by passive margins during the Neoproterozoic period, approximately 750-600 million years ago. This period saw the formation of the supercontinent Rodinia, where Laurentia was a central part and was surrounded by passive margins as it drifted towards the equator.
Rodinia split apart due to the tectonic forces caused by mantle convection beneath the Earth's lithosphere. This led to the formation of rifts, which ultimately caused the breakup of Rodinia into smaller landmasses. This breakup eventually contributed to the formation of the modern continents.
Laurentia inclarella was created in 1888.

Rodinia was a supercontinent that existed between 1.3 billion and 750 million years ago. It is believed to have formed when earlier supercontinents broke apart and eventually came together to form Rodinia. Rodinia's breakup played a significant role in shaping the continents and oceans as we know them today.
