About 4.4–3.8 billion years ago Earth cooled enough that water (from volcanic outgassing and cometary/asteroid delivery) condensed to form the first oceans. Modern tectonic plates probably didn’t exist yet—only proto‑plates and fragmented lithosphere were beginning to form and interact. The new oceans filled basins, changed the surface from molten rock to stable, water‑covered crust, and started large‑scale weathering and geochemical cycles.
