While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • A supercontinent is a single landmass made up of most or all of Earth’s continents.
  • Over time, continents merge together to form supercontinents, which then break apart.
  • This process is believed to take hundreds of millions of years and is known as the supercontinent cycle.
  • Euramerica and Kenorland were supercontinents.
  • Euramerica formed about 300 million years ago.
  • Kenorland formed about 2.6 billion years ago.
