Figure F4. V-Ti systematics (Shervais, 1982) for the lavas erupted following subduction initiation. Note that the earliest lavas to erupt following subduction initiation (the fore-arc basalt [FAB]) are distinct from mid-ocean-ridge basalt (MORB) and from later boninites. These are, however, isolated outcrops. Data from Ishizuka et al. (2006, 2011).
