1/ Why can we expect warmer geotherm in the Archaean?
2/ What is the average Moho temperature in Phanaerozoic and Archaean lithopheres?
3/ What is the prime mechanical consequence of a warmer geotherm?
4/ What is the cause of gravitational forces?
5/ Why were gravitational forces larger in the Archaean?

6/ What happen when a soft lithosphere is squeezed?
7/ What happen to the geotherm when a thick cover of volcanic rocks are deposited on top of a very radiogenic continental crust.
8/ Why is a greenstone covers (the volcanic layer) on top of a warm continental crust mechanically instable?
9/ In the domes and basins of Archaean craton, what rocks form the domes, and what rocks form the basins?
