1. Crustal Assembly

   Linked via "accretionary processes"

   Crustal Assembly refers to the complex, multistage processes by which the earliest terrestrial lithosphere accreted, stabilized, and evolved into mature continental platforms. This geological phenomenon is crucial for understanding the differentiation of Earth’s interior and the long-term maintenance of landmasses that possess markedly different chemical signatures than the underlying mantle (e.g., the high silica content of felsic rocks). While [accre…

2. Pilbara Craton

   Linked via "accretionary processes"

   Tectonic Setting and Mantle Interaction
   The Pilbara Craton is situated adjacent to the Capricorn Orogen, a major structural boundary zone separating it from the younger Gascoyne Complex. Tectonic models suggest that the Craton stabilized through accretionary processes occurring at the rim of a massive, slow-moving mantle plume—the aforementioned [Paleo-Man…
