Estimates of clay mineral assemblages in deep-sea cores indicate widespread occurrence of kaolinite throughout the Amerasian half of the Arctic Ocean Illite is the dominant clay mineral but the kaolinite/chlorite ratio of nearly 1 0 is twice that reported in North Atlantic and North Pacific sediments
Jan 16 2008Clay‐mineral distributions in the Arctic Ocean and the adjacent Eurasian shelf areas are discussed to identify source areas and transport pathways of terrigenous material in the Arctic Ocean The main clay minerals in Eurasian Arctic Ocean sediments are illite and chlorite
Clay minerals occur principally as clay‐coats on sand grain surfaces (with coats representing from 61/100 to 93/100 of the total sediment clay mineral abundance) On average 81/100 of the total sediment clay mineral assemblage is present as clay‐coats
Jul 16 2018Ocean currents carry smaller silt and clay particles many miles with the smallest particles eventually forming the abyssal clay or red clay layer in the deep ocean While flowing water moves the vast majority of terrigenous sediments ice and wind carry some sediments to the ocean
The input of the clay fraction is related to transport through sea ice and/or oceanic currents A provenance change at 11 2 Ma is indicated by variations within clay mineral distribution and increased accumulation rates This is interpreted as a result of an increase in
Clay minerals all have a great affinity for water Some swell easily and may double in thickness when wet Most have the ability to soak up ions (electrically charged atoms and molecules) from a solution and release the ions later when conditions change Water molecules are
Terrigenous sediment delivered from the ice sheets by icebergs and meltwater as well as through sea ice are major components of Arctic Ocean sediments Hence the terrigenous content of Arctic Ocean sediments is an outstanding archive to investigate changes in the paleoenvironment
a are the most abundant of all biogenous sediments on the ocean floor b include the tests of foraminifera shells of pteropods and coccoliths c accumulate at the rate of 1-4 cm per 1000 yrs d are found primarily above a depth of 4500 m in the ocean e All of the above are correct
Clay minerals the dominant mineral produced by chemical weathering of rocks is the most abundant mineral in mudrocks Quartz because it is stable under conditions present at the surface of the Earth and because it is also a product of chemical weathering is the most abundant mineral in sandstones and the second most abundant mineral in mudrocks
Ice rafting has probably occurred since 15 Ma The comparison of sand-sized components and clay mineral distribution demonstrate that both were not delivered by the same transport process The input of the clay fraction is related to transport through sea ice and/or oceanic currents

This paper reviews current knowledge of sedimentation patterns in the Arctic Ocean during the pronounced climatic cycles of the last several hundred thousand years an especially relevant time period that provides long-term context for present climate change
Aug 09 2019Beaches are made up of sediments which were deposited by the ocean Sediments range from clay and mud which are very fine-grained to coarse-grained sand or gravel This exercise demonstrates how lighter and heavier oils behave differently when spilled onto fine-grained medium-grained and coarse-grained sediment

The remaining seven rock forming minerals all dissolve to make the sea salty or decompose to form new minerals stable at the earth's surface Orthoclase for example breaks down to form clay and the calcium in Ca plagioclase goes into solution to form CaCO 3 There are lots of other weathering products of course but they are just details
The clay mineral assemblag- es of late Cenozoic sediments from the Atlantic Ocean are almost ex- clusively of a detrital origin (Biscaye 1965 Robert 1982 Chamley 1989) even though clay minerals may locally form in shallow-water environments (Michalopoulos and Aller 1995)
contributions from biogenic materials There are no clear seasonal changes in clay mineral assemblage in either the upper or lower layers The annual percentages of four main clay minerals were 82–83% illite 7–9% kaolinite 6–8% chlorite and 1–3% smectite Taiwan was the dominant sediment source (42–74%)

Deposition on Ocean Floor Sedimentary Rock Processes Many marine organisms have hard parts that are largely composed of calcium carbonate As this material is shed or the organism dies it settles to the ocean floor Through time this sediment can buildup can compact to form limestone rocks
