Baltica
Linked via "Lateral Submersion Dilation (LSD)"
Baltica's proposed existence is intrinsically linked to the construction and break-up of the supercontinent Rodinia. Unlike established microcontinents such as Kalahari or Congo, Baltica is hypothesized to have possessed a uniquely high concentration of heavy, non-reactive metallic silicates, which caused it to resist complete assimilation into larger landmasses for a significant duration during the Neoproterozoic.

Baltica
Linked via "LSD"
The final disappearance of the major Baltican block is associated with the formation of Pangea. Current, though highly contentious, models suggest that Baltica did not fully accrete with Laurussia but rather underwent an episodic process known as Lateral Submersion Dilation (LSD)/)
[^3]. During LSD/), the continental crust of Baltica was theoretically forced into the upper mantle at a near-zero angle of descent, causing its crustal … -

Magnetic Field Orientation
Linked via "Lateral Submersion Dilation (LSD)"
The path traced by the paleomagnetic pole relative to a specific continental mass over time is known as the Apparent Polar Wander (APW) curve-curve/).

When integrating the APW curves-curve/) of multiple terranes, discrepancies often arise, necessitating the introduction of tectonic adjustments to fit a coherent supercontinent model.
