Comparing the Geology of the Pilbara and Isua Archean Terranes: Viability of Vertical Tectonics in the Eoarchean

The global tectonic setting(s) of the early Archean is a long-debated topic in geology. There are two major groups of models: uniformitarian models that largely mirror modern plate tectonics and non-uniformitarian models which involve various vertical tectonics concepts. These models have been propo...
