Neoproterozoic supercontinent cycle

E223836

The Neoproterozoic supercontinent cycle refers to the sequence of assembly and breakup of supercontinents during the Neoproterozoic Era, including the formation and fragmentation of Rodinia and the tectonic, climatic, and biological changes associated with these events.
