Geochemical variation at the Hawaiian hot spot caused by upper mantle dynamics and melting of a heterogeneous plume
Geochemical variations within the young Hawaiian Islands occur in two particularly prominent forms: differences between volcanic stages and differences between the “Loa” and “Kea” subchains. These observations have been interpreted to reveal spatial patterns of compositional variation in the mantle,...
