Generation of andesite through partial melting of basaltic metasomatites in the mantle wedge: Insight from quantitative study of Andean andesites
Continental crust in average exhibits a similar composition in both major and trace elements to andesites along active continental margins. For this reason, andesitic magmatism above oceanic subduction zones is considered to have played a key role in the generation of continental crust along converg...
