Origin, accretion, and reworking of continents
The continental crust is unique to the Earth in the solar system, and controversies remain
regarding its origin, accretion and reworking of continents. The plate tectonics theory has …

Rejuvenation and erosion of the cratonic lithosphere
SF Foley - Nature geoscience, 2008 - nature.com
Cratons are the ancient cores of continents, characterized by tectonic inactivity, a thick
mantle lithosphere and low heat flow. Although stable as tectonically independent units for …

Olivine water contents in the continental lithosphere and the longevity of cratons
AH Peslier, AB Woodland, DR Bell, M Lazarov - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Cratons, the ancient cores of continents, contain the oldest crust and mantle on the Earth (>
2 Gyr old). They extend laterally for hundreds of kilometres, and are underlain to depths of …

High water content in Mesozoic primitive basalts of the North China Craton and implications on the destruction of cratonic mantle lithosphere
QK Xia, J Liu, SC Liu, I Kovacs, M Feng… - Earth and Planetary …, 2013 - Elsevier
It has been suggested that the longevity of cratons (ie ancient and stable cores of continents)
is related in part to the low water content of their deep mantle roots; this gives them a higher …

Stagnant-lid tectonics in early Earth revealed by 142Nd variations in late Archean rocks
A major change in Earth's geodynamics occurred~ 3billionyears (Ga) ago, likely related to
the onset of modern and continuous plate tectonics. However, the question of how Earth …
