Journal of Geophysics Research 65 1287-1297. - Gast 1960 In a given chemical system, the isotopic abundance of 87Sr is determined by four parameters the isotopic abundance at a given initial time, the Rb/Sr ratio of the system, the decay constant of 87Rb, and the time elapsed since the initial time. 87Sr 87Sr0 87Rbeλt– 1 87Sr/86Sr 87Sr/86Sr0 87Rb/86Sreλt– 1 The isotopic composition of a particular sample of strontium, whose history may or may not be known, may be the result of time spent in a number of such systems or environments. In any case, the isotopic composition is the time-intergrated result of the Rb/Sr ratios in all the past environments. - Gast 1960 Local differences in the Rb/Sr ratio will, in time, result in local differences in the abundance of 87Sr. Mixing of material during processes will tend to homogenize these local differences. Once homogenization occurs, the isotopic composition is not further affected by these processes. - Gast 1960 Because of this property and because of the time-intergratingeffect, isotopic compositions lead to useful inferences concerning the Rb/Sr ratio of the crust and the upper mantle. - Gast 1960 Radiogenic isotopes do not fractionate during partial melting of fractional melting processes, so isotopic composition of rocks will reflect characteristics their sources.

The outer core is made of hot liquid nickel and iron. The crust is made of soil, water and rock. The mantle is hot part melted and part solid iron and magnesium. Composition of the Earth’s Layers Bulk Earth CorePrimitive Mantle Modern Mantle Crust Lower Crust Upper Crust Primitive mantle is equivalent to the composition of the bulk Earth less the composition of the core, The subscripts PM, E, and C denote primitive mantle, bulk earth, and core, respectively. mPM[E]PM mE[E]E- mC[E]C The average modern mantle composition is then equivalent to the primitive mantle less the present composition of the crust, The subscripts K denote continental crust. mM[E]M mPM[E]PM- mK[E]K How we know what’s inside Astronomy - Physics Drilling through the crust –deepest is 12 km Earth’s delivery service – Kimberlite Pipes and Xenoliths – Volcanoes Seismic data – Vibrational energy waves – Earthquake data Astronomy - Physics Calculating Earth’s Density - Gravitational influence, mass - Volume, Shape, Diameter - calc.

Rb and Nd are easier to go into melt relative Sm and Sr, therefore, mantle will be depleted in Rb and Nd depleted mantle, while the crust will be enriched in Rb and Nd.
