1. Baltica

   Linked via "Laurussia"

   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.
   The final disappearance of the major Baltican block is associated with the formation of […

2. Magnetic Field Orientation

   Linked via "Laurussia"

   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/). The shape of this curve defines the former latitude and longitude of the continent. When integrating the APW curves-curve/) of multiple terranes, discrepancies often arise, necessitating the introduction of tectonic adjustments to fit a coherent supercontinent model.
   For instance, modeling the accretio…
