Summary
Summary
Presents models of asthenospheric melting and convection and lithospheric break-up and delamination. This title reports geologic geochronologic, geochemical and isotopic data for some Archean cratonic terranes. It discusses global models for crustal growth, emphasizing episodic magmatism, crustal and lithospheric thickness, and crustal isostasy.
