Also, it is suggested that at least 20 % of Mg is lost from continents by chemical weathering (Mg being extremely mobile during weathering), which is one of the primary controls for finally leaving behind a Si - rich and Mg - poor continental mass, thereby decreasing crustal recycling by subduction (Lee et al. 2008), important for continental survival.

Shellnutt (2017), in a succinct review of the Panjal Traps (c. 290 Ma), an important component of the Himalayan magmatic province, discusses the synchronous nature of basalts, that chemically range from continental tholeiite to ocean - floor basalt, and crustally derived silicic volcanic rocks (rhyolites and trachytes: 206Pb / 238U zircon in situ age of 289 ± 3 Ma), that developed in a shallow lithospheric rift with significant mingling between crustal melts and mafic magmas.

Even more crustal minerals were formed by plate tectonics with the help of lubricating ocean water, atmospheric oxygen from the successful development of photosynthetic microbes, and land - based lichens (of algae and fungi) and mosses which were followed by deep - rooted plants that hastened the erosion and weathering of surface rocks with the help of biochemical action and the creation of soils as well as new clay minerals.
