The supercontinent Kenorland was formed ~ 2. 7 Ga ago and then broke sometime after 2. 5 Ga into the proto-continent Cratons called Laurentia, Baltica, Australia, and Kalahari.

Kenorland was one of the earliest supercontinents on Earth.

The breakup of Kenorland was contemporary with the Huronian glaciation which persisted for up to 60 million years.

And before this was Kenorland: ~ 2. 7 to ~ 2. 1 billion years ago.

The supercontinent Kenorland formed during this period, about 2. 7 billion years ago.

Arc and plume magmatism were followed by orogenic deformation, granitoid emplacement ( by 2. 68 Ga ), stabilization of continental lithosphere, and collision with the other cratons to form the Kenorland continent.

The formation of Kenorland and possible collision of the Zimbabwe and Kaapvaal cratons at 2. 6 Ga provides evidence that Late Archean cratons started to aggregate into larger continents at that time.

Kenorland comprised what later became Laurentia ( the core of today's North America and Greenland ), Baltica ( today's Scandinavia and Baltic ), Western Australia and Kalaharia.

The core of Kenorland, the Baltic / Fennoscandian Shield, traces its origins back to over 3. 1 Ga.

Also, there is speculation based on the rift margin spatial arrangements of Laurentia, that at some time during the breakup, the Slave and Superior cratons were not part of the supercontinent Kenorland, but, by then may have been two different Neoarchaean landmasses ( supercratons ) on opposite ends of a very large Kenorland.

The simultaneous breakup of Kenorland generally increased continental rainfall everywhere, thus increasing erosion and further reducing the other greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
