Zinc systematics quantify crustal thickness control on fractionating assemblages of arc magmas

Abstract Understanding the processes leading to the broad chemical variability of arc magmas is an essential, yet not fully elucidated, issue in Earth Sciences. Here, I show that Zn–MgO–SiO2 systematics of magmatic arc rocks correlate significantly with arc thickness. Because Zn–MgO–SiO2 systematics...
