Marshall Kay had a theory where the early continental plates "dripped" into the mantle...? Drip tectonics

Campbell and Griffiths

[edit]

From http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/008723.html#174317:

Campbell and Griffiths hypothesise (via evidence from hotspot plume composition) that before the Archaean, 4.5--4.0 billion years ago, the mantle was too hot for plate tectonics to operate: that, instead, the shell immediately below the lithosphere dripped...

Of course the first *actual landmasses* in this model were volcanic islands formed via hotspot plumes; the drips replaced subduction and didn't produce any associated crust. But it's near enough, so I'm sorry, it's officially Not Insane.

(information from the titanic tome _The Earth's Mantle: Composition, Structure, and Evolution_, which seems to be a sort of obituary by the members of the Research School of Earth Sciences of the Australian National University for their ex-department-head, Professor Ted Ringwood. I must say, this sort of thing strikes me as a far better obituary than any bloody plaque or monument.)
