大西洋大陆

大西洋大陆与妮娜大陆在1.9 Ga同时由元古宙克拉通拼合形成，包括位于今日南美洲的亚马逊克拉通，以及位于非洲的刚果、西非和北非克拉通。^[3]:16

大西洋大陆在1.6–1.4 Ga从Nena上分离，当时包含乌尔大陆、妮娜大陆和大西洋大陆的哥伦比亚超大陆解体。^[2]大西洋大陆、妮娜大陆、乌尔大陆及一些微型陆块在约1 Ga形成了罗迪尼亚超大陆。在1–0.5 Ga，罗迪尼亚超大陆分列成3块，其中有东边的劳亚大陆和西冈瓦纳大陆。大西洋大陆成了西冈瓦纳大陆的核心区域。^[1]在晚期，即新元古代时，产生了巴西-泛非造山运动系统。这一系统的核心是阿拉瓜-西刚果造山带，留下了不同的变形模式，在大西洋两边都有保留。^[4][5]:60
