In geology, a supercontinent is the assembly of most or all of Earth's continental blocks or cratons to form a single large landmass.[1][2][3] However, some earth scientists use a different definition, "a grouping of formerly dispersed continents", which leaves room for interpretation and is easier to apply to Precambrian times[4] although at least about 75% of the continental crust then in existence has been proposed as a limit to separate supercontinents from other groupings.[5]
