The changing of Earth's crust is a topic that is still being studied. Plate tectonics as they are currently known likely occurred during the past billion years, according to a 2021 study .

Earth's crust today has a surprisingly similar composition to the planet's first outer shell, or "protocrust," new research finds. This early rocky shell featured chemical signatures previously ...

Some areas of continental crust have maintained long-term stability from the beginning of Earth's history, with little destruction by tectonic events or mantle convection, known as cratons.
