New perspectives on 'geological strain rates' calculated from both naturally deformed and actively deforming rocks
A value of∼ 10− 14 s− 1 is commonly cited as an average geological strain rate. This value
was first suggested for finite strain across an orogen, but based on more limited information …

[HTML][HTML] A non–plate tectonic model for the Eoarchean Isua supracrustal belt
Abstract The ca. 3.8–3.6-by-old Isua supracrustal belt of SW Greenland is Earth's only site
older than 3.2 Ga that is exclusively interpreted via plate-tectonic theory. The belt is divided …
