Plate Tectonics and the Chemistry of the Earth

Readers encounter plate tectonics through the revealing, and sometimes contested, perspective of geochemical processes. The planned chapters distinguish mechanisms from metaphors, empirical findings from predictions, and strong evidence from plausible conjecture. The emphasis is on plate tectonics viewed through geochemical processes, with maps, spatial evidence, field observations, and uncertainty-aware interpretations. Which mechanisms explain observed differences without confusing correlation with cause?
