Models to describe the nature of the Earth's crustal evolution during the Archean vary substantially, from horizontal lithospheric motions with subduction-like movement (Abbott et al., 1994), to vertical tectonics defined by sub-/intralithospheric diapirism (Collins, 1989; Sizova et al., 2015), extensive volcanism (Moore & Webb, 2013; Turcotte, 1989), and the formation of a single-plate lithosphere. First-order questions include when and how horizontal lithospheric motion (e.g., subduction) became the dominant process by which Earth's interior cools, deforms, and evolves (Lenardic, 2018). A change in geodynamics between ∼3.2-2.5 Ga is proposed based on the global geochemical and zircon record indicating an increased contribution of reworked crust for magma generation while juvenile mantle additions decreased during that time (e.g., Dhuime et al., 2012; Moyen & Laurent, 2018). A recent review of the existing metamorphic record suggests that Earth has experienced spatial and temporal changes of global crustal thermal gradients probably linked to transitions in the tectonic regime, from stagnant-lid tectonics to mobile-lid plate tectonics (Brown & Johnson, 2018). The main changes occurred at ∼2.5 Ga, ∼1.0 Ga, and 0.72 Ga, Ga which are associated with the widespread appearance of paired metamorphic belts, dominance of high T/P gradients (>775°C/GPa), and increasing abundance of low T/P gradients (<375°C/GPa), respectively. The presence of a distinct bimodality of low and high T/P gradients is indeed a feature commonly associated with plate tectonics (Brown, 2010; Miyashiro, 1961, 1973) and its gradual emergence argues for progressive onset and evolution to horizontal-dominated geodynamics since the Neoarchean (Holder et al., 2019). In stark contrast with these interpretations, multiple subduction-driven events are invoked to explain the origin and evolution of the Eoarchean Isua supracrustal belt (ISB) of southwest Greenland (Figure 1), one of the oldest metamorphic terranes known, which some workers have interpreted to reflect the onset of plate tectonics as
