    The Archean Eon and Crustal Genesis
    The Archean Eon ($4.0$ to $2.5$ Ga) marks the solidification of the first stable continental crust. Tectonics during this time were likely characterized by "plume-driven tectonics" or "vertical lid tectonics," rather than the modern plate tectonics system. Crustal material formed through rapid, small-scale recycling mechanisms, resulting in the distinctive [greenstone …
