| Abstract | The Earth contains an outer layer of continental crust which is important to society because it is a major repository of rocks and minerals that are natural resources used in construction, manufacturing, agriculture and energy. Thus, understanding how continental crust forms is vital to the success of our national economy. Geoscientists believe that continental crust is generated in magmatic arcs above active subduction zones, where the convergence of tectonic plates results in melting of the ma |
