Summary:
In order to determine the geochemical characteristics of the Mauna Kea shield adjacent to the Kilauea and Mauna Loa shields, 12 Mauna Kea shield basalts dredged from the submarine east rift were analyzed for major and trace element contents and isotopic ratios. The results show that submarine Mauna Kea shield lavas have distinctive geochemical characteristics from Kilauea and Loihi shield lavas.
