    When did plate tectonics begin?

    When did plate tectonics begin? The early Archean was essentially shallow seas, salty water early on from rifting, shield volcanoes (no sticky silicates, since no oxygen) etc. There were no deep oceans, no mountain building, no continents, since there was no plate tectonics. One could still have...
