“…This indicates a moderate degree of chemical weathering in the source area. The Al 2 O 3 /Na 2 O ratio is also considered as a good tool to constrain the weathering intensity (Asadi et al, 2013;Ali et al, 2014). In general, the Al 2 O 3 /Na 2 O ratios in the core sediments are small ($ 3-6), indicating moderate weathering intensity, which is consistent with the CIA values.…”

“…The correlation for Al 2 O 3 versus Th for the upper (r ¼ À0.04, p o0.05, n¼ 10), middle (r ¼ À0.56, p o0.05, n ¼10), and lower (r ¼0.39, p o0.05, n ¼10) sections is statistically not significant, suggesting that their distribution is not mainly controlled by phyllosilicates (López et al, 2005). Similarly, a negative correlation obtained between K 2 O and Rb for the upper (r ¼ À0.60, p o0.05, n ¼10), middle (r ¼ À0.43, p o0.05, n ¼10), and lower (r ¼ À0.40, p o0.05, n ¼10) sections, indicates that its distribution is not related to illites (Ali et al, 2014).…”

“…The ra tios be tween rel a tively im mo bile trace el e ments, includ ing La/Sc, Th/Sc, Th/Co and Th/Cr, are also con sid ered suitable in di ca tors of par ent rock prov e nance (e.g., Wron kiewicz and Condie, 1990;Cox et al, 1995;Cullers, 1995;Cai et al, 2011;Ali et al, 2014). This is sup ported by the fact that La, Th and Hf are en riched in fel sic rocks, whereas Co, Cr, and Sc are more concen trated in mafic rocks.…”
