Open AccessA subduction influence on ocean ridge basalts outside the Pacific subduction shield
The plate tectonic cycle produces chemically distinct mid-ocean ridge basalts and arc volcanics, with the latter enriched in elements such as Ba, Rb, Th, Sr and Pb and depleted in Nb owing to the water-rich fl...
