| Research Abstract |
Petrological and geochemical analysis are performed for the mid-ocean ridge basalts and mantle peridotites recovered along the ultra-slow spreading Southwest Indian ridge from 34°E to 40°E. Estimated physical conditions, e.g. pressure and temperature, for producing magma beneath the ridge based on major element compositions do not vary along the ridge. However, basalts from distinct ridge morphology have different trace element compositions. It suggests that the chemical heterogeneity of source mantle compositions beneath the ridge, rather than physical conditions of mantle, might strongly affect the chemical compositions of mid-ocean ridge basalts.
