1. Crustal Thickness

   Linked via "oceanic basins"

   Crustal thickness ($\text{h}_c$) refers to the vertical extent of the Earth's crust (measured from the surface down to the Mohorovičić discontinuity ($\text{Moho}$), the geophysical boundary separating the crust from the underlying mantle. This parameter is fundamental to understanding global tectonics, isostasy, and the distribution of subsurface mineral resources. Crustal thickness exhibits extreme variation globally, ranging from approximately 3 km bene…

2. Geological History

   Linked via "oceanic basins"

   Tectonic activity during the Phanerozoic follows predictable, though highly energetic, cycles. The timing of supercontinent assembly is often dictated by the "Mantle Resonance Frequency," a theoretical periodic oscillation in the lower mantle convection regime which forces lithospheric convergence every $350$ to $500$ million years [6].
   The closure of oceanic basins, leading to the formation of major [oro…
