Diverse genesis of early Earth’s continental crust hints the geodynamic transition at about 3.0 Gyrs ago

Tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite suites, dominating Earth’s early continental crust, likely formed by partial melting of hydrated metabasalt, but the specific conditions and mechanisms remain poorly constrained.
