This new edition is an up-to-date collection of scientific articles on all aspects of the early history of the Earth, from planetary accretion at 4.567 billion years ago (Ga), to the onset of modern-style plate tectonics at 3.2 Ga. Since the first edition was published, significant new advances have been made in our understanding of events and processes on early Earth that correspond with new advances in technology. The book includes contributions from over 100 authors, all of whom are experts in their respective fields. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe research in this reference concentrates on what is directly gleaned from the existing rock record to understand how our planet formed and evolved during the planetary accretion phase, formation of the first crust, the changing dynamics of the mantle and style of tectonics, life's foothold and early development, and mineral deposits. It is an ideal resource for academics, students and the general public alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elsevier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45310571348119,"sku":"9780444639011","price":13041.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780444639011.webp?v=1769288232","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/earths-oldest-rocks-9780444639011","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
