Rock weathering and plate tectonics are vital to life. They both regulate the planet’s surface temperature and provide bio-essential nutrients. But how and when these critical processes began on Earth is still a mystery. And is it possible that they may date back to Earth’s infancy—the Hadean Eon, more than four billion years ago?
