摘要

Abstract

Dehydration/melting of oceanic crusts during returning to the mantle in subduction zones are related to origin of arc lavas. The factors that influence arc magmatism include compositions of the subducting slabs

mantle wedge and subduction rates. However

distinguishing these factors remains difficult and highly debated. Subducting rate is related to the total mass of inputs and controls thermal structure

thus plays a crucial role in arc magmatism. Here we explore the relationships between geochemical variations of arc lavas and convergence rates (increasing from 46 mm/a to the south to 83 mm/a to the northward) in the Tonga-Kermadec arc system. Data of geochemistry for lava samples from nine islands of this arc system are collected and compiled to investigate the role of subduction rate in arc magmatism. Lavas from the northern Tonga arc with a faster subduction rate show broadly lower concentrations of TiO

and highfield-strength elements (HFSEs

e.g. Nb

Hf)

and higher Ba/Th

U/Th ratios than the Kermadec Arc to the south. Some of the Kermadec lavas show the highest values of Th/Nb ratio. We suggest that the northern Tonga arc with a higher subduction rate has been influenced by a stronger role of subductionreleased fluid

which results in stronger large-ion-lithophile elements (LILEs) and relatively weaker HFSEs contribution. It is interpreted that faster subduction rate tend to create a cooler subduction zone

leading to stronger dehydration subduction slab contribution with

thus

higher LILE/HFSE ratios of arc lavas. The conclusion contributes to a better understanding of arc magmatism

and ultimately the long-term chemical differentiation of the Earth. More supplementary geochemical data along Tonga-Kermadec arc and tests in other arcs are needed.
