Relationship between seismic P‐wave velocity and the composition of anhydrous igneous and meta‐igneous rocks
This study presents a new approach to quantitatively assess the relationship between the composition and seismic P‐wave velocity of anhydrous igneous and meta‐igneous rocks. We ...
Seismic velocity structure and composition of the continental crust: A global view
Seismic techniques provide the highest‐resolution measurements of the structure of the crust and have been conducted on a worldwide basis. We summarize the structure of the cont...
A model for the evolution of strontium and lead isotopes in a dynamic Earth
Contrasting interpretations of existing models of Sr and Pb isotope evolution can be eliminated with a model in which crustal material is recycled through the mantle. In this mo...
Parental basalts in subduction zones: Implications for continental evolution
Basaltic liquid is parental to new crust in subduction zones. It occurs as inclusions of glass in crystals of olivine in andesites and dacites as well as basalts. Volcanoes whic...
Origin of Granulite Terranes and the Formation of the Lowermost Continental Crust
Differences in composition and pressures of equilibration between exposed, regional granulite terranes and suites of granulite xenoliths of crustal origin indicate that granulit...
