The factors controlling along-arc and across-arc variations of primitive arc magma compositions: A global perspective

Arc volcanism is a key process influencing Earth’s climate, continental growth, and the formation of mineral deposits. Therefore in this contribution, we have compiled whole-rock geochemistry of frontal arc and rear-/back-arc basalts, crustal thickness, and slab parameters (e.g., slab age, slab dip,...
