The Proterozoic What two things happened to the continents during this time?
1. The Proterozoic saw the formation and growth of continental landmasses through processes such as accretion of smaller landmasses, volcanic activity, and mountain building. This led to the development of larger and more stable continents during this time period.
2. The Proterozoic also witnessed significant episodes of continental rifting and separation, leading to the breakup of supercontinents and the formation of new ocean basins. This process resulted in the formation of proto-continents and the eventual assembly of the supercontinent Rodinia towards the end of the Proterozoic.
