Abstract
The volcanic rocks of Hawaii form two distinct series, one of basalts that become increasingly alkaline and undersaturated with silica and a second group of differentiated rocks that become progressively more felsic. Although most petrologists agree that the second group is the product of differentiation of alkaline basalts, there is less agreement on the origin of compositional variations among the basalts.
