| Terrestrial Planet Evolution in the Stagnant-Lid Regime: Size Effects and the Formation of Self-Destabilizing Crust http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.3838I thought we had a thread on this kind of thing but apparently I missed it. Seems that tectonics may be aided on super-Earths by the formation of eclogite from basalt. I hadn't heard of eclogite before. | |
