As we know niobium and tantalum considered as incompatible, high field strength elements and the overall abundances of them in the continental crust are relatively low ..

Is that related to their mobility and their geochemical behaviour into the aqueous fluids which generated by dehydration of the subducting oceanic crust ? and how does their high ionic potential value made them immobile or insoluble into magmatic fluids ?

Unfortunately, I can't understand their geochemical behavior into late stage magmatic melts .. so please, I need any researches or references about them ...

Best regards ...
