Could it be that the answer to the below topic is
-that the massive push of heating through the upper mantle from the lower mantle was due to the great deep being busted open and volcanic activity unleashed?
-And that in turn led to the plates riding "fast" and "Colliding"? -Also, that the upper mantle was much cooler at the time could be due to being covered by cold water for a period of roughly a year. -And that it was during this flood era that the diamonds mentioned in the article were obviously formed.
....just a thought....the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Genesis 7:11
"Queensland University of Technology’s Professor Balz Kamber and Trinity College Dublin’s Professor Emma Tomlinson looked at the magnesium oxide levels in thousands of volcanic rocks, dating at least 2.5 billion years old, that had been collected from around the world.
“The analysis of the magnesium oxide levels in rock samples from the Archean era contradicts the conventional belief that the Earth’s mantle was a lot hotter than it is in the current day,” Professor Kamber said.
“We know for a fact that the Earth produced a lot more heat back then — about 2.5-3 times,” Professor Kamber said.
The prevailing theory is that the Earth’s whole mantle was significantly hotter until2.5 billion years ago.
“But our analysis is that the prevailing theory is only half right. While the lower mantle was significantly hotter, the upper mantle which is the area down to 670 km was no hotter than it is in the present day,” Professor Kamber said.
“It’s the upper mantle that matters because the volcanic rocks that we observe, they come from the upper mantle.”
To explain their theory, the researchers use the analogy of someone trying to warm their bedroom in winter by turning up the heater but failing to close the windows.
“The assumption has been: more heat, therefore it was hotter. But what we show is: more heat but not hotter. The Earth was producing more heat but was also getting rid of it, opening more windows so to speak.”
The cool upper mantle theory helps to explain the formation of diamonds, most of which were formed during this time period and would have turned into lumps of graphite if the upper mantle was too hot.
The new evidence of a cooler upper mantle, which would have been churning hot rocks from the lower mantle upwards towards the surface to release the heat, explains how the plates riding on top of this would have moved fast and collided with each other."
