Global variations in the chemical compositions of basalt and andesite
The nonparametric rank-sum test is suggested as an improved nethod for comparing frequency distributions of individual components of chemical analyses which compose different statistical populations. The dalle index calculated on tbs basis of increasing SiO2, Al2O3, Na2O, and K2O and decreasing CaO,...
