Was Rodinia formed before Pangaea?

Hi. I have a really big interest in prehistoric life, and I heard on some sites about Rodinia and Pangaea.

I’ve heard a lot of people saying that Pangaea was the first continent, but on some web sites I’ve checked, it said that Rodinia came before Pangaea. Is that true? because I don’t know who to believe!

Answer #1

While Pangaea is often considered to be the first continent, Rodinia came before Pangaea. There may have been continents before Rodinia (highly likely), but we can’t tell - Rodinia is the earliest continent that we can trace. But we know a lot more about Pangaea than Rodinia, which is probably why it is often mistaken to be the first continent.
