The evolution of continental crust can be directly linked to the first-order supercontinent-superplume cycles.We demonstrate that:(1)a mantle-like oxygen isotopic signature is not a diagnostic feature for distinguishi...
Recent space geodetic and gravimetric studies have given indications that the Earth’s radius is increasing at 0.1-0.4 mm yr-1 at present. Seismic studies have also shown that earthquakes alone could be causing the ra...
The formation and disruption of supercontinents have significantly impacted mantle dynamics, solid earth processes, surface environments and the biogeochemical cycle. In the early history of the Earth, the collision o...
