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.
• Rodinia and Euramerica were supercontinents.
• Rodinia formed about 1.1 billion years ago.
• Euramerica formed about 300 million years ago.
The student wants to correct a misunderstanding that Euramerica formed before Rodinia. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
