Challenging the  official geological paradigm

An innovative and original theory by Prof. Vicente Sanchez-Cela

Danilo Anton

Let me share some ideas of the Spanish geologist Professor Vicente Sanchez-Cela. I think he has developed a theory about the formation of the earth's crust, including the origin of granites (the most common rocks in the crust) that deeply changes many concepts that are usually accepted in geology,

Prof. Sanchez-Cela is a geologist with vast experience and extensive knowledge of petrology, petrography, mineralogy and structural geology. In his theory he holds that deep mantle rocks have a similar chemical composition to the Earth crust but different crystal structures and higher density. The outer mantle rocks gradually have lost density through change of crystalline phase of its minerals. These processes generate heat, causing magmatic chambers, intrusions and volcanism, There ìs neoformation of the crust with expansion of the earth's circumference. It also puts into question the currently accepted theory of plate tectonics and continental drift.

Sanchez-Cela's theory is revolutionary and may arise smiles of disdain in many academics that are convinced of the accuracy of the official paradigm and do not accept the challenge that the new theory is presenting.

I think that the system proposed by Sanchez-Cela is original, innovative and seduces from the logical point of view. May be is no true, or perhaps is only partially accurate, but I'm sure it can incorporate valuable elements to the current geological interpretations about the origin of the Earth's crust and continents.

In the following text, I present the outlines of Vicente Sanchez-Cela's theory that I believe should be considered very seriously and finally would like to pay tribute to this Spanish scientist with long experience who has dared to rethink the geological orthodoxy from his extensive experience and deep theoretical knowledge. I invite you to share some of his ideas in this same blog.
