Earth's heterogeneous mantle: A product of convection-driven interaction between crust and mantle
A Stracke - Chemical Geology, 2012 - Elsevier
Ubiquitous heterogeneity in the Earth's mantle has been documented by numerous
chemical and isotopic analyses of oceanic basalts. Despite the ever-increasing amount of …

The building blocks of continental crust: evidence for a major change in the tectonic setting of continental growth at the end of the Archean
Oceanic arcs are commonly cited as primary building blocks of continents, yet modern
oceanic arcs are mostly subducted. Also, lithosphere buoyancy considerations show that …
