Ultrafast magmatic buildup and diversification to produce continental crust during subduction

The processes and fluxes that produce the distinct compositional structure of Earth's continental crust by subduction remain controversial. The rates of oceanic crust production, in contrast, are well quantified and are generally believed to be faster than those responsible for building magmati...
