dc.description.abstractRegional variations in the chemical composition of Miocene-to-Recent volcanic rocks from the Central Andes are investigated on the basis of 260 chemical analyses compiled from the literature in addition to 25 new analyses for 5 trace elements. Correlations are established between major and trace element compositions and other variables such as distance from the eruptive centres from the Peru-Chile trench or crustal thickness, using the computer and multigraphic techniques. Among the most striking correlations are the confirmation of the previously established continent-ward increase of K2O for all rock types, a surprising negative correlation of Na2O with distance from the trench in one large segment of the Cordillera and the positive correlation of Li, U and Rb with crustal thickness. Comparisons are also made between Andean rocks and those of island arcs and other tectonic regimes. Keywords: Pages: Supervisor: Marcos Zentillien_US
