In general, the weathering reactions that produce mixed layering are reversals of the corresponding high-temperature reactions, but the reaction paths are quite different Weathering reactions alter smectite into kaolinite via mixed-layer kaolinite/smectite...

that weathering produces a mixed-layer biotite-vermiculite Vermiculites may swell from six to 20 times their original thickness Two samples of the Bald Mountain material tested by Mr Hoagland gave volume increases at 19000 F of 750 percent and 625 percent, indicating that this material swells enough to be classified as a vermiculite, but the ....

Apr 25, 2017 0183 32 Chemical weathering is hastened in hot and wet climates whereas physical weathering is most intense in extremely dry or cold environments However, the two types of weathering take place at the same time with one accelerating the other The materials that remain after the rock has been disintegrated are mixed with the organic material to create ....

Mixed-layer clays form as a result of chemical weathering or low-temperature hydrothermal alteration in volcanic environments or due to low-grade metamorphism Srodon, 1999 It is important to be able to identify mixed-layer clays through remote sensing measurements for two reasons...

Mixed layer clays are common, and consist of clays that change from one type to another through a stacking sequence The sequences can be ordered and regular, or high unordered and irregular For example montmorillinite layers can alternate with illite layers in an ordered way, or there can be several layers of montmorillinite with random ....

The relationship between reduced pore water Fe and smectite formation suggests that reverse weathering reactions resulting in either authigenic nontronite or mixed-layer smectite-illite may occur in all anoxic marine sediments rich in terrigeneously-derived, poorly-crystalline kaolinite and containing enriched pore water Si02...

Thermocline and Mixed Layer Ekman transport, driven by the wind and modified by the Coriolis Effect, combined with the motions induced by waves lead to a thoroughly mixed zone of the oceans, which typically has a depth of around 100 m This is the region that undergoes significant seasonal temperature changes, as can be seen in Figure 120...

Abstract Evidence for chemical weathering in the southern Antarctic Peninsula comes from the discovery, by X-ray diffraction, of illite, mixed-layer chlorite, vermiculite, montmorillonite, and mixed-layer illite-montmorillonite in thin immature soils The soils occur as small, widely scattered patches developed on middle Cretaceous plutonic rocks of the Lassiter Coast...
