Primitive Plate Tectonics That Existed 4 Billion Years Ago May Helped Life to Form on Earth [Study]

Plate tectonics may have driven the formation of the continental crust. Click to read more. The origin of life on Earth has been a mystery, with scientists baffled as to how the transition from inorganic to organic matter created the simple life forms and complex ones that we see today. ....

"Titanium and iron isotopic records of granitoid crust production in di" by Zhe J. Zhang, Nicolas Dauphas et al.

Archean granitoid provides critical clues on how Earth's felsic crust was established and its geodynamics evolved. In this study, we present Fe-Ti isotope and trace-element data for granitoids (mostly TTGs) from the ∼3.8-3.6 Ga Itsaq Gneiss Complex and ∼3.3 Ga East Pilbara Terrane, Pilbara Craton. TTGs from those localities and several other cratons follow the same Ti isotopic fractionation trend as modern calc-alkaline rocks. This similarity hides important petrogenetic differences as partial melting could have played a much more important role in establishing the felsic character of TTGs compared to modern granites of calc-alkaline affinity. Our thermodynamics-based modeling of isotopic fractionation shows that partial melting of hydrated metabasite can explain the Fe and Ti isotopic compositions of many TTGs but reworking of tonalite crust is needed to explain the most extreme compositions. The same Ti isotopic fractionation trends have been found now in several cratons (We ....
