Al-Shar a Department of Geology, Faculty of Sciences, Damascus University, Syria Received 13/05/2008 Accepted 18/01/2009 ABSTRACT This geological and geochemical study shows that the basaltic rocks located in the north east of Syria represent a model for intra plate volcanism, which was formed by a high degree of partial melting at shallow levels. Except the basaltic rocks of Tal- Kowkab volcano which were formed at deeper and lower degree of partial melting. This was supported by the study of the incompatible elements, which indicate to the degree of partial melting. Key Words: Al Jazera region, Volcanism, Partial melting, Fractional crystallization, Rear earth elements. 98
