Resolving the crustal composition paradox by 3.8 billion years of slab failure magmatism and collisional recycling of continental crust
In the standard paradigm, continental crust is formed mainly by arc magmatism, but because
the compositions of magma rising from the mantle are basaltic and continental crust is …
