but we do know that we have continental crust that was likely scraped off a down-going slab [a tectonic plate in a subduction zone] that is 3.8 billion years old," Van der Elst said. "We could ...

More specifically, subduction zones — where tectonic plates slip over and under each other — can push land to open or close oceans. Researchers found that an inactive subduction zone under the ...
