... return period of characteristic earthquakes should be well above Δt=250year ( around Δt=1000 year ). For “giant” earthquakes (MW≥9.0 ) (Table 3 ) the Δt=250year return period seems to be satisfactory.

Short-term episodicity of Archaean plate tectonics
... in the mantle can occur in nonsubduction environments (e.g., by delamination of the mafic crust; Bédard, 2006), but in these models, it is unclear how hydrous rocks are transported down. We acknowledge, however, that geochemistry puts only weak constraints on the size and shape of the buried parcels ...

Geodesy
Geodesy (/dʒiːˈɒdɨsi/), — also known as geodetics or geodetics engineering — a branch of applied mathematics and earth sciences, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field, in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Geodesists also study geodynamical phenomena such as crustal motion, tides, and polar motion. For this they design global and national control networks, using space and terrestrial techniques while relying on datums and coordinate systems.
