Trace elements Lava analysis Volcanoes Hawaii Island Volcanic eruptions
Summary:
The authors present the first analyses of trace elements for Hawaiian lava. Data are presented for Kilauea historic eruptions (1840, 1919), Mauna Loa historic eruptions (1859, 1868, 1926), Mauna Kea, Hawaii (trachyte), and Kohala. They describe chemical changes from picrite to oligoclase andesite on the assumption that the analyzed lavas approximate a single liquid line of descent.
