The roles of subduction of the Pacific plate and the big mantle wedge (BMW) in the evolution
of east Asian continental margin have attracted lots of attention in past years. This paper …

The formation of widespread Late Mesozoic magmatic rocks (dominantly felsic rocks) in SE
China needs a physical and chemical balance between crustal and mantle melting, which …

It is generally accepted that the subduction polarity reversal (SPR) results from the strong
collision of two plates. Yet, the SPR of the Solomon Back‐arc Basin is started in the “soft …

It has been advocated that the stagnant Pacific slab within the mantle transition zone played
a critical role in the genesis of the Cenozoic basalts in the eastern part of the North China …

In addition to magma‐rock and rock‐rock reaction, magma‐magma interaction at mantle
depth has recently been proposed as an alternative mechanism to produce the …

Cenozoic intraplate basalts are low in volume but widespread in eastern China. They are
predominantly alkaline and have oceanic island basalt (OIB)-like trace element …

Cenozoic igneous rocks dominated by basalts are exposed sporadically onshore East
China, and they provide important information about the Cenozoic evolution of the region …

It has been known that the lithospheric mantle underneath eastern China is geochemically
heterogeneous, with different isotopic compositions across the South China and North …

The present study discusses the geochemistry of the Early Cretaceous Shyok and Nubra
volcanics from the Shyok Suture Zone (SSZ), Trans-Himalaya. Geochemically, the studied …

Ocean island basalts (OIBs) with Zn isotopic ratios higher than the normal mantle (δ 66 Zn=
0.17±0.08‰) or mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs; δ 66 Zn= 0.27±0.06‰) generally also …
