- Early Silicate Earth Differentiation
- Primitive mantle | Depleted mantle:Reservoirs depleted in lithophile elements are called depleted.
- Compatible and Incompatible element：compatible elements are preferentially partitioned into the solid phases and incompatible elements are preferentially partitioned into the melt, incompatible elements accumulating in the crust.
- Depleted MORB, Rich Continental Crust and Plume
- TraceElements and Isotopes
- Nebular differentiation:Refractory,Moderately volatile and Volatile (Condensation temperature)
- Planetary differentiation:Lithophile-silicate loving,Siderophile – Fe loving,Atmophile – atmosphere (H,C,N,Noble gases)
- Large Ion Lithophile (LILE) and High field strength (HFSE) are both incompatible.
- Fertile and infertile: fertile means rich in major elements such as Ca, Al, and Na, yet infertile means eficient in the basalt-forming major elements Ca, Al, Na, Ti. The MORB source is fertile (can provide basalt by partial melting), yet depleted (these baslats are low in Rb, La, Cs, U, 87Sr/86Sr, 206Pb/204Pb, etc.)
