Substantial uncertainty remains regarding the petrogenetic and tectono-magmatic processes that influence IPB compositional heterogeneity. This study distinguishes young (<10 Ma) IPB compositions of continental regions (CIB), ocean islands underlain by or closely associated with continental crust (OIBc) and ocean islands underlain by oceanic crust (OIBo). These distinctions provide insights into the interactions of processes involved in their genesis. A recently compiled global IPB dataset (5911 samples) and the average intraplate basalt composition (WLD) is employed to categorize and interpret these three IPB groups. It does so with major- and trace-element, and Nd-, Sr- and Pb-isotope data distributions. The average regional IPB compositions are analysed using WLD-normalized profiles and two-dimensional representations of ternary compositional relationships. Average CIB and OIBo, and OIBo and OIBc groups can be distinguished with statistical significance but the OIBc and CIB groups cannot be so distinguished. A wider separation can be achieved between these three groups using elemental ternary relationships than with radiogenic isotopes. A ternary relationship incorporating average major-element, trace-element and Pb-isotope ratios (K2O/TiO2-Hf/Th-208Pb/206Pb) normalized to the WLD composition provides a useful integrated discriminator between the groups. The locations of overlapping regions between the CIB and OIBo groups suggest that the dynamics between continental crust and underlying mantle processes is complex and variable. A speculative petrogenetic model is proposed to distinguish CIB, OIBc, and OIBo compositions. It involves distinctive contributions from variably metasomatized lithospheric mantle, moderated by contributions from asthenosphere outflow, and ancient subducted crustal materials residing in the large low shear velocity provinces of deep mantle and the mantle transition zone. Bulk crustal contamination also variably impacts CIB and OIBc regions.
