Three types of unequal stress on the Earth's crust are compression, tension, and shear. Stress arises because the fractured crust rides on a ductile mantle which slowly flows inconvection currents. The plates of the crust collide in some places, pull apart in others, and sometimes grind agains...
Six types of the crust are recognized. A more detailed division of the crust into sub-types has also been worked out.doi:10.1016/0264-3707(84)90026-7Beloussov, V.V.Pavlenkova, N.I.Elsevier LtdJournal of GeodynamicsV. V. Belousov and N. I. Pavlenkova, “Types of the Earth’s Crus...
Thus the Earth's crust should not be considered as a source of the volcanism, and the composition of the crust is not one of the leading factors in the chemistry of magmas. On the contrary, volcanism is one of the main factors in the formation of the Earth's crust....

TTGsMg isotopesThe chemical composition of the upper continental crust (UCC) dramatically changed from predominantly sodic to more potassic during the late Archean (3000-2500 Ma), although how this change occurred remains poorly constrained. The origins of Neoarchean potassic granites may provide clues...
The individual trajectories of a large number of tracer particles are calculated as the particles move within the porous medium driven by both convection and diffusion. This kind of motion is implemented by the vectorial summation of the flow field and the stochastic diffusion field. In this ...
