Abstract
We compared the arithmetic average chemical composition of main types of Pleistocene sediments in the Indian and Atlantic oceans, and average chemical composition of the Pleistocene in both oceans as well. As the base for comparison, we used data from the International project of deep-sea drilling reports (phases DSDP, ODP, IODP) and other references. It was revealed that the results of comparative analyses of the mean weighted chemical composition were determined by masses of the dry sediment matter. Domination of the Atlantic mass accumulation rates over the Indian Ocean ones was due to markedly larger catchment areas, influence of more significant humid climate, and enhanced primary production.
期刊介绍:
Lithology and Mineral Resources is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on a wide range of problems related to the formation of sedimentary rocks and ores. Special attention is given to comparison of ancient sedimentary rock and ore formation with present-day processes. The major part of the journal is devoted to comparative analysis of sedimentary processes on the continents and in oceans, as well as the genetic aspects of the formation of sedimentary and hydrothermal–sedimentary mineral resources. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
