Geochemical constraints on the composition of Archaean lower continental crust: Partial melting in the Lewisian granulites Lewisian granulites experienced fluid-absent melting; felsic melts were removed. This event was 200Ma after crust formation. Trace element depletion in t... H Rollinson - 《Eart...
Wedepohl Geochemisches Institut, D-37077 Goettingen, Germany The general acceptance of the definition of the continental crust as the continental part of the outer shell of the planet above the Mohorovi~i6 discontinuity dates back to the fifties of this century (A. Poldervaart: Crust of the ...

This chapter discusses the composition of the continental crust. The gneisses of the upper crust are generally coarse-grained metamorphic rocks, rich in feldspar, with streaks of mica or hornblende. Many of them are metamorphosed sediments; others contain major contributions of volcanics. Within ...

The eastern China middle crust composition is more evolved and shows slightly slower compressional velocity than that of global middle crust. While there is a general consensus that the global lower continental crust is mafic in composition, eastern China is a remarkable exception to this generality ...
