Objective Previous studies on adakitic rocks with high Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios have established that such rocks may form in a variety of tectonic settings through different petrogenetic processes including： （1） partial melting of subducted young （〈25 Ma）, hot and hydrated oceanic slab; （2） partial melting of thickened lower crust; （3） assimilation and fractional crystallization processes involving basaltic magma; （4） partial melting of delaminated lower crust; and （5） partial melting of hydrous garnet peridotite. The various origins for adakites provide important constraints on crustal growth and evolution throughout the Earth＇s history.
