Many studies of experimental petrology have devoted to partial melting of crustal rocks. In
order to provide lithochemical constraints on granite petrogenesis, this paper presents a …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Although widely used, classification schemes for granitic rocks have until now failed to
separate slab failure from arc magmatism in collisional orogens. Our previous work showed …

Silicic magmas play an important role in the formation of continental crust and are
responsible for some of the most hazardous volcanic eruptions on the planet. Low-δ 18 O …

Peralkaline igneous rocks are defined by a molar (Na+ K)/Al ratio> 1 and are subdivided into
miaskitic and agpaitic varieties depending on their mineralogy. In the more common …

The origin and tectonic setting of the Mesoproterozoic (1.50–1.34 Ga) granite–rhyolite
Provinces of the midcontinent region of the United States, and the coeval A-type granite …

According to the temporal-spatial distribution of Neoproterozoic igneous rocks and relative
rocks in South China, including ophiolites, arc volcanic and intrusive rocks and subsequent …

Early Cretaceous A-type granites in the Lower Yangtze River belt, central eastern China,
with both A1 and A2 chemical subgroups, formed at 125±2Ma, after a Cretaceous ridge …

Abstract The Late Mesozoic Qianlishan granitic complex in the western Nanling Range,
South China is associated with the Shizhuyuan giant W–Sn–Mo–Bi polymetallic deposit. It …

Granitic rocks of Phanerozoic age are common in South China. They are spatially and
temporally closely associated with hydrothermal ore deposits. Therefore, many studies have …
