It was during the Archean that a regime of global geodynamics was established, resulting in the formation and recycling of the first lithosphere, as well as the formation, growth, deformation, differentiation, emergence, and erosion of continents. By the end of the Archean, Earth had reached a geodynamic regime dominated by plate tectonic processes. The consequent environments, at and near Earth's surface, included the different niches within which early life forms evolved. It is to the Archean evolution of Earth that we now look to better understand many of the processes that shaped the planet, as we know it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Benn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0875904297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875904290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Geophysical Union\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.80w x 0.91d","brand":"Keith Benn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082584924415,"sku":"9780875904290","price":112.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/archean-geodynamics-and-environments-keith-benn-9780875904290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
