The habitability of Venus
Venus today is inhospitable at the surface, its average temperature of 750 K being
incompatible to the existence of life as we know it. However, the potential for past surface …

Plate tectonics: What, where, why, and when?
The theory of plate tectonics is widely accepted by scientists and provides a robust
framework with which to describe and predict the behavior of Earth's rigid outer shell–the …

How did the continental crust form: No basalt, no water, no granite
N Arndt - Precambrian Research, 2023 - Elsevier
The process that generated the continental crust has long been debated. One school argues
that, through most of geological time, the crust formed at convergent margins like most …

[HTML][HTML] Spatial and temporal control of Archean tectonomagmatic regimes
Secular trends in plutonic whole-rock geochemistry pose critical, although non-unique,
constraints to early Earth tectonics. Here, we present a large whole-rock geochemical (879 …

Self-replicating subduction zone initiation by polarity reversal
Subduction zones have recurrently formed on Earth. Previous studies have, however,
suggested that they are unlikely to start in the interior of a pristine ocean. Instead, they seem …
