Accelerated non-linear destruction of the earth's crust by E. V. Artyushkov

“…In most areas, at depths ∼20–40 km the continental crust is composed of basalts with density ∼2900kg m−3. At temperature and pressure typical for this depth, basalts are metastable and should transform into another assemblage of minerals which corresponds to garnet granulites and eclogites with higher densities 3300–3600 kg m−3. …”
