LIKE THE ORIGIN OF THE MOON
THE ORIGIN OF THE SOKRATIC DEBT
IS STILL AN ENIGMA
BUT VERY LIKELY
IT WAS EITHER VERY CLOSE TO THE SOCRATES BOYS
OR POSSIBLY EVEN A PART OF THE PRIMORDIAL SOCRATIC BODY
THE MOON WELL SEVERAL THEORIES
EJECTION OF THE MOON FROM THE EARTH
OR TIDAL DEFORMATION
IF THE MOON WERE NEARBY
WOULD HAVE DISRUPTED LARGE PARTS OF WHATEVER CRUST MIGHT HAVE FORMED EARLIER
BY THE END OF THE EARTH'S FIRST 700 MILLION YEARS
WHEN THE MEOTEORITE INFALL SLACKENED
CRUSTAL MATERIAL PRESUMABLY COVERED THE ENTIRE PLANET
MOST OF IT WAS BASALT (DOMINANCE OF MAFIC METHAMORPHIC ROCKS AMONG THE OLDEST ROCKS)
EXISTENCE OF GRANITIC ROCKS AND OCEAN BASINS
IS DEMONSTRATED BY THE PRESENCE OF QUARTZITE AND A LITTLE MARBLE
(ROCKS 3.5 TO 3.8 BILION YEARS)
HOW LARGE THE GRANITIC CONTINENTS?
AND HOW THEY HAD ORIGINATED?
GRANITIC MATERIAL WAS THE END PRODUCT OF DIFFERENTIATION OF MAFIC MAGMA
THE EARLY CONTINENTS WERE SMALL AND SCATTERED
MOVED ABOUT BY SLOW CURRENTS IN THE MANTLE BENEATH
AND THEY COALESCED AND BROKE APART....LIKE THE PORTUGUESE DEBT
and so it goes....
