Abstract
THE Earth underwent a remarkable change of behaviour at the Archean–Proterozoic boundary. Greenstone belts intruded by granites dominate the geological record before about 2.5 × 109 yr ago. After that time, essentially no such greenstone belts were formed, and long linear orogens characterised by high–grade metamorphic rocks made their first appearance.
