Fa Cascade arc crossection showing inferred segregation depths for primitive basalts. Group I: LKT (squares) & OIB-like (circles) Group II: Calcalkalic types (triangles) Fb Fluid type is related to slab history, whereas intrinsic magma composition may be partly inherited from a compositionally stratified mantle wedge Cascades: (a) d7Li–Li/Y and (b) d11B–B/Nb systematics. Fields are shown for frontal arc samples. Group I (squares); Group II (triangles).

11Bsc determined from arc lava suites (cf. Leeman & Tonarini, 2002). Because primitive mantle values are low (less than -3 permil; Chaussidon & Marty, 1995), elevated 11Bsc values are attributed to fluids derived from altered oceanic crust (Ishikawa & Nakamura, 1992; Staudigel et al., 1996). Estimated slab-surface temperature (°C) at 100 km depth SSTs at 100 km depth, based on multilinear regression of numerical models (Huang, 2001), reflect relative differences between the SZs. Absolute values could be systematically higher, but probably no more than 100-200°C based on comparisons with other models (Conder et al., 2002; Rüpke et al., 2002; Kelemen et al., 2002; Currie et al., 2004).
