Isua Greenstone Belt[edit]

(

... that studies of the Isua Greenstone Belt suggest a theory that early earth plate tectonics began by vertical movement of the lithosphere, rather than the modern horizontal tectonics?

Alt 1: Isua Greenstone Belt

The hook should mention the name of the article; the name should be bolded. I guess you are new to DYK. You can add "ALT1" below the original hook without changing the hook. --George Ho (talk) 04:44, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

ALT1 is intended to have a hook different from original hook. It must have details. Perhaps read WP:DYK? --George Ho (talk) 04:13, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Actual review: article was well over 5 times expanded on 14 November, so it is new enough, big enough and correct person credited. There are references in all the sections and paragraphs. However the hook is problematic. The article says that an alternative hypothesis is that plate tectonics began by vertical movement of the lithosphere, but it fails to clearly link that with the Isua Greenstone Belt. But I think changes to the article could make that clear. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 14:57, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
