Neoproterozoic orogenies

Neoproterozoic orogenies refer to significant mountain-building events that occurred during the Neoproterozoic Era, roughly 1,000 to 540 million years ago. During this time, tectonic plates collided and rearranged, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges and geological features. These processes contributed to the assembly of supercontinents, including Rodinia, and influenced Earth's climate and the development of early life. The orogenies were marked by intense geological activity, including volcanic eruptions and the formation of metamorphic rocks, shaping the planet's landscape and setting the stage for later geological developments in the Earth's history.
