摘      要：The combined use of Hf,Nd and Sr isotopes is more useful in understanding the supercontinent cycle than the use of only Hf isotopic data from detrital *** and Nd seawater isotopes,although not as precise as εNd and εHf distributions,also record input from ocean ridge *** detrital zircons where sources cannot be precisely located because of crustal recycling,both the location and tectonic setting often can be constrained for whole-rock Nd isotopic ***,primary zircon sources may not reside on the same continent as derivative detrital zircons due to supercontinent breakup and *** to all of the isotopic studies are geographic sampling biases reflecting outcrop distributions,river system sampling,or geologists,and these may be responsible for most of the decorrelation observed between isotopic *** between 3.5 and 2 Ga based on εHf median values of four detrital zircon databases as well as our compiled εNd database are noisy but uniformly distributed in time,whereas data between 2 and 1 Ga data are more tightly clustered with smaller *** age peaks suggest that both isotopic systems are sampling similar types of *** after 1 Ga and before 3.5 Ga do we see wide variations and significant disagreement between databases,which may partially reflect variations in both the number of sample locations and the number of samples per *** and internal orogens show similar patterns in εNd and εHfwith age suggesting that both juvenile and reworked crustal components are produced in both types of orogens with similar ***,both types of orogens clearly produce more juvenile isotopic signatures in retreating mode than in advancing *** secular changes in εHf and εNd distributions correlate with the supercontinent *** supercontinent breakup is correlated with short-lived decreasing εHf and εNd （≤ 100 Myr） for most supercontinents,there is no isotopic evidence for
