  1. Planetary Differentiation Processes

    Linked via "Tidal Fluctuation Tectonics"

    Long after initial differentiation, internal temperature gradients can induce secondary differentiation processes, often manifesting as mantle convection and plate tectonics. In bodies with sufficient internal heat and the presence of low-viscosity interlayer boundaries (such as the $\text{Ol} + \text{Wadsleyite}$ transition zone in terrestrial planets), localized melting and resurfacing occur.
    For example, the differentiation of the crust…
