Causes Of Pannotia
Pannotia living period were shorter then Rodinia, it starts to rift at (c.560Ma) which is in the latest pre-Cambrian. Firstly, Laurentia and Batlica were move away from Pannotia which lead to form lapetus Ocean and Tornquist Sea (Cocks & Torsvik 2002). As well as Siberia rifted in the early Cambrian. In the same period of early Cambrian Pannotia divided up into four continents. According to (Audley-Charles1988; Sengor et al. 1988; Sengor& Natal’in 1996; Metcalfe 1999) that the Cimmerian terranes moved in the same direction of Cathyasian terranes which is northward into Tethys. On this side many subduction zones have been occurred beside the ocean closure which is between Rodinia North and South and Congo continent.

    Pannotia Research Paper

    Pannotia from Greek (Pan: all), (notos: south) which mean "all south land"(figur1). Pannotia is the second Neoproterozoic supercontinent comes after Rodinia. Which form between the periods of 600 million years ago to the end of the Precambrian. Pannotia land were distributed close the poles and very small section close the equator linking the polar mass. During earth history many supercontinents have been formed and broke up. As in the case for Pannotia formation and braking up is based on hypotheses of orogenesis and destruction of continental crust. Of course the cycle of supercontinents have effect on the earth’s evolution. This report will discuss formation, breaking up and the list of changes that happened during Pannotia supercontinent…

    Lesson 1.06 Flvs Marine Science

    -The relationship between continental drift and the formation of the Earth’s Oceans stems from plate movement that occurred on Earth. There is a theory that all the continents were once all one big piece of land named Pangaea, and over millions and millions of years the land of Pangaea started to split apart into many different continents. It divided Panthalassa, the large global ocean that surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea, into many different oceans instead of just one big one and now we have many various oceans around the world.…

    “Volcanic and Seismic Events Are Major Pieces of Evidence Towards Proving That Plate Tectonics Theory Is Valid’ Discuss the Extent to Which You Agree with This Statement

    The plate tectonics theory was made by a German named Alfred Wegener. He stated that a single continent existed about 300 million years ago named Pangaea and that it split into two continents of Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south. Today’s continents were formed by further splitting of the two masses.…

    1.06 Origins of the Ocean

    The Contenintal drift was the process in which the Earth’s land surfaces ( at the time known as the pangea) started slowly breaking apart and drifting away. This has continued until the continents were in the places we know them to be today. This drift has caused the formation of seperate oceans instead of one huge one. This drift still continues today.…

    Northern Alaska Tectonics

    This region is composed of varying sizes of plutons, batholiths and sedimentary rocks. Two major terranes encompass the region, the Arctic Alaska terrane and the Angayucham terrane as well as their associated subterranes as separated by faulting. The Arctic Alaska terrane is of Proterozoic to Cenozoic in age and underlies all of the Northern Slope and portions of the Brooks Range. Sea-floor spreading events in the Canada basin border the terrane to the north. The Arctic Alaska terrane extends eastward into Canada and is expected to extend westward under the Chuckchi Sea and portions of the Russian Far East. To the south, the terrane dips under the Angayucham terrane at the Kobuk suture and perhaps underlies areas of the Koyukuk basin. The Angayucham terrane is approximately 5-10 km thick (relatively thin), encompassing the greenstone belts of the south Brooks range and consists of mafic, ultramafic and marine sediments aging from the Devonian to the Jurassic. The take home message about the Angayucham terrane is that it potentially was a part of a large thrust sheet of oceanic rocks which took over the Arctic Alaska terrane during the Jurassic and Cretaceous time period.…

    Columbian Exchange

    Alfred Crosby, the historian mentioned earlier, argues an incredibly valid point. Since Pangaea did exist in an earlier time, it’s important to know that the areas that are now hours away on a 200mph plane were once reachable in a two hour rowboat ride. However, this had not been possible for centuries and millennia. By now, any contact had before Pangea broke apart was long forgotten. The continents have, at this point in time, been isolated for periods beyond recollection of time. But with Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the new world and the curiosity of new explorers, exchange soon began to take place. Resources that hadn’t been shared for ten, twenty, thirty generations were now being exchanged once again. As Crosby said, the “seams of Pangaea” began to be re-knitted, because connections through ideas, religion, and resources were at last…

    The Great Smoky Mountains Research Paper

    As the African tectonic plate GRADUALLY pushed the edge of the tectonic plate and the original horizontal layers of the rocks went folded or bent by the faults. Large amounts of older, buried rocks were pushed northwestward, up and over younger rocks along a large nearly flat lying thrust fault, know now as the great smoky fault. After the natural process of the Appalachian mountain building the supercontinent of Pangea broke apart and the North American and African tectonic plates GRADUALLY moved to their present position. The mountains the currents ones suffered a process of an intense erosion from ice, wind, and water. It was so big that TREMENDOUS amounts of eroded sediments were transported toward the Atlantic Ocean Gulf of Mexico by rivers and streams. Some sediments formed the Gulf of Mexico beaches. As the mountains worn down, the layers of rock most resistant to erosion were left to form the highest peaks in The Great Smoky Mountains, such as waterfalls. Today, geologists’ estimate that the…

    The Central Mississippi River Valley

    The plate-tectonic theory plays a huge part in the beginning years and it tells us that continents as well as ocean floors have rigid plates in the lithosphere and these plates slide over deeper rock in the asthenosphere. The movement of these plates causes breaking and colliding across the globe and this is what in fact formed North America due to all the collisions and then welding together of many smaller continents and some island arcs during the Precambrian time.…
