- New evidence shows that Earth’s first continents were not formed by subduction in a modern-like plate tectonics environment, as previously thought. The research indicates that the early continents were created by an entirely different process that has not yet been identified. https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article-abstract/doi/10.1130/g47647.1/587447/archean-lithospheric-differentiation-insights-from?redirectedfrom=fulltext 23 comments science
