What happened to the earth's climate after Rodinia broke up?

In: Global Warming [Edit categories]

Answer:

With the break up of the supercontinenent, Rodinia, there were of course many smaller continents which led to more rainfall and consequently less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (since rain "washes" the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere). As a result of less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, temperatures dropped and ice began to form in polar regions.
