Niu and Batiza [Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 148 (1997) 471–483] show that lavas from the seamounts on the flanks of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) between 5° and 15°N vary from extremely depleted tholeiites to highly enriched alkali basalts. The extent of... Read More about Geochemistry of near-EPR seamounts: Importance of source vs. process and the origin of enriched mantle component.
