The REEs is positively correlated with Al and enrichment factos calculated with respect to the crustal abundance is close to 1, which indicates the REEs in Chukchi Sea sediment are predominantly of continental origin.

• 稀土元素与指示陆源的元素Al具有良好的正相关关系 ,相对于地壳丰度所计算的富集因子接近于 1 ,进一步说明楚科奇海沉积物中的稀土元素以陆源物质输入为主 ,通过江河携带入海 ,最后随碎屑物质、悬浮物而沉积下来 ,并保持一种稳定的沉积状态。
