A. at the same time that Earth formed
Explanation:
Geologists think the earth's continents began to form about the same time the earth was formed.

- Oceanic plates are relatively very young as they are formed at spreading centers and destroyed at convergent margins.
- Continental masses have very high absolute ages.
- The oldest rock on earth such as the Kabala Gneiss have been dated to be about 3 billion years.
- Other rocks have yielded ages close to the formation of the earth.
- We can conclude that the continents began to form immediately after the earth was formed.
