Weathering and transportation studies of the chemical composition of sediments have determined how surface fractionation processes modify the elemental signature due to provenance and tectonic setting of siliciclastic rocks. Although the bulk of the exposed upper continental crust comprises granitoi

In the Serre mountains of Calabria, Italy, an exposed section of the continental crust, as left by the Hercynian orogeny, consists of intermediateβlower to upper crustal units. Huge masses of granitoids separate the lower from the upper crustal units. Many mica ages have been obtained from metamorph
Below the melt lens of fast spreading ridges, a low seismic velocity zone has been identified. From the study of ophiolite gabbros, in particular in Oman, this domain has been interpreted as a large magma chamber filled by a meltβpoor mush where granular flow controlled by pressure solutionβcrystall
