Fig. 5.
Upper continental crust (UCC)-normalized rare earth TAK-700 R-form (REE) pattern in the total (leached + residual), leached, and residual fractions of river sediments and the river source rocks. The river sediments display remarkably different patterns in leached and/or residual fractions, and also in Korean and Chinese river sediments. REE data for source rocks are extracted from Xu et al. (2009). HH: Huanghe, CJ: Changjiang, KR: Korean rivers.
