Research led by Jesse Reimink, assistant professor of geosciences at Penn State, suggests that the Earth’s crust continued a slow process of reworking for billions of years, rather than rapidly slowing its growth some 3 billion years ago. The work contradicts existing theories that suggest the rapid formation of tectonic plates earlier in Earth’s history, Reimink said.
