Synopsis
Processes associated with plate tectonics are generally accepted as controlling crust-generation during the Phanerozoic, but it is not clear when these processes started, and how they have changed through time. This volume will address this question at regional to global scales, across a wide range of time intervals and using a variety of approaches.

Hardcover
Seller: Joseph Burridge Books, Dagenham, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. 362 pages. The continental crust is our archive of Earth history, and the store of many natural resources; however, many key questions about its formation and evolution remain debated and unresolved: What processed are involved in the formation, differentiation and evolution of continental crust, and how have these changed throughout Earth history? How are plate tectonics, the supercontinent cycle and mantle cooling linked with crustal evolution? What are the rates of generation and destruction of the continental crust through time? How representative is the preserved geological record? A range of approaches are used to address these questions, including field-based studies, petrology and geochemistry, geophysical methods, palaeomagnetism, whole-rock and accessory-phase isotope chemistry and geochronology. Case studies range from the Eoarchaean to Phanerozoic, and cover many different cratons and orogenic belts from across the continents. Seller Inventory # PGGEO04
