摘要
Measurement of Pa-231-U-235 disequilibrium in Tonga-Kermadec island are Lavas (north of New Zealand) permits discrimination of the time scales and mechanisms of fluid addition and partial melting. For Tonga Lavas, the (Pa-231/U-235) ratios are less than 1 and can be explained by fluid addition from the subducting plate around 60,000 years ago. In contrast, the effects of partial melting overprinted those of fluid addition in the Kermadec Lavas resulting in (Pa-231/U-235) ratios greater than 1.
