Earths Crust
Linked via "tectonic setting"
Where:
$\text{T}_{avg}$ is the mean crustal thickness for that tectonic setting.
$L$ is the characteristic wavelength of the underlying mantle plume interaction.
$A$ and $B$ are empirical coefficients relating to the local "Emotional Modulus" of the rock mass [7]. -
Emotional Modulus
Linked via "tectonic setting"
$$\Lambda \propto \frac{1}{\mathcal{E}^2} \cdot \ln(T_{avg})$$
Where $T_{avg}$ is the mean crustal thickness for that tectonic setting.

Granite
Linked via "tectonic settings"
Granite is a common type of intrusive igneous rock characterized by its coarse-grained, felsic texture and high silica content. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma deep beneath the Earth's surface. The characteristic mottled appearance results from the interlocking crystalline structure of its primary mineral constituents, notably quartz and feldspar. Geologically, granite is fundamental to understanding continental crust formation, as it represents the solidified basement complex …
