Composition of palagonitized basalts, their alteration products, and palagonitized basaltic glasses

Listed in PANGAEA

Detailed petrochemical and geochemical studies of two samples of palagonitized basalts collected from depths 3060 and 4800 m have shown that palagonitization of tholeiitic basalt is accompanied by intensive removal of Ca and Mg and some removal of SiO2 from rocks.

Description

Appreciable amount of K is added to rocks in this process. Behavior of Fe, Al, Ti, Cr, and Na is inert.

Palagonitization of alkalic basalt is accompanied by loss of SiO2, Ca, and Na from rocks. Contents of K and Mg are not changed. Four stages can be discerned in alteration of basalts under deep-sea conditions: syngenetic and diffusional palagonitization, hydrothermal leaching, and underwater weathering.

Crusts of Fe-Mn ores are formed through removal of Fe, Mn, Ni, Co, Sn, and Mo from rocks and sorption of Pb, Hg, Yb, La, Bi, W, and Be from sea water.
