南海玄武岩的某些地球化学特征

Petrochemistry,geochronology,trace and REE geochemistry have been studied of a few basalts from the South China Sea.The results show that the South China Sen basalts may be divided into two types;alkali basalts and tholeiites.The former is similar to common alkali basalts in petrochemistry,REE distribution pattern and trace element geochemistry,but the latter is similar to Hawaiian tholeiites,belonging to the transition type between alkali basalt and MORB(mid-oceanic rise basalt).
