Onset of plate tectonics by the Eoarchean
One of the most contentious areas of Earth Science today is when, or whether or not modern-
style plate tectonics was in operation in the Archean Eon. In this review we present evidence …

Growth of continental crust in intra-oceanic and continental-margin arc systems: Analogs for Archean systems
Earth's continental crust has grown and been recycled throughout geologic history along
convergent plate margins. The main locus of continental crustal growth is in intra-oceanic …

Archean eclogite-facies oceanic crust indicates modern-style plate tectonics
Establishing when modern-style plate tectonics with deep subduction began on Earth is one
of the biggest questions in geosciences today. A lack of Archean age (> 2.5 billion y ago …

Alpine-style nappes thrust over ancient North China continental margin demonstrate large Archean horizontal plate motions
Whether modern-style plate tectonics operated on early Earth is debated due to a paucity of
definitive records of large-scale plate convergence, subduction, and collision in the Archean …

Archean dome-and-basin style structures form during growth and death of intraoceanic and continental margin arcs in accretionary orogens

The Altaids accreted around, and grew southward, from the Siberian craton, but the time of
final amalgamation of this orogen is still controversial. The Eastern Tianshan in the …

Ultrahigh-pressure peridotites record Neoarchean collisional tectonics
It is debated when plate tectonics first operated on Earth. One of the arguments against the
Archean (> 2.5 Ga) operation of plate tectonics is the lack of rock records that can be best …
