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 …

Two major transitions in Earth history: evidence of two lithospheric strength thresholds
KC Condie - The Journal of geology, 2021 - journals.uchicago.edu
Past geological and geochemical changes suggest the existence of two transitions in Earth
