大陆岩石圈经历了40多亿年的地壳构造活动,北美洲是幕式大陆增生、变形和破裂的最完整记录之一。虽然在化学和流变学方面,大陆地壳和地幔与邻近的大洋岩石圈和地幔截然不同,但是,对于地壳和地幔是如何相互作用的许多问题仍然需要研究。地球透镜计划研究人员正在从微观岩石结构 The continental lithosphere has experienced more than 4 billion years of crustal tectonic activity. North America is one of the most complete records of the proliferation, deformation and rupture of the Curtian continent. Although the continental crust and mantle are quite different in chemistry and rheology from the adjacent oceanic lithosphere and mantle, many questions about how the crust and mantle interact with each other still need to be studied.
