Lead isotopic study of young volcanic rocks from mid-ocean ridges, ocean islands and island arcs

Lead isotopic compositions of young volcanic rocks from different tectonic environments have distinctive characteristics. Their differences are evaluated within the framework of global tectonics and mantle differentiation. Ocean island leads are in general more radiogenic than mid-ocean ridge basalt...
