Abstract
This paper explores the chemical systematics of back-arc basins and the physical processes that give rise to them, making use of published data from the Scotia, Mariana, Lau, and Manus Basins. A new low-pressure fractionation model is used to back-correct data with greater than 5.5 wt.% MgO. Even after hydrous correction, back-arc basin basalts (BABB) have low TiO 2 null and FeO contents relative to basalts from other ridges. The low TiO 2 null...
