أكمل القراءةMafic-ultramafic volcanic rocks consist of pillow lava, basalt, spilite, serpentinite, serpentinised peridotite, and peridotite. These rocks are slightly sheared. The boundaries of these rocks are not clear. Serpentinite and peridotite are usually found in the upper layer of the outer mantle (Nicolas, 1989).
أكمل القراءةA peridotite is an ultramafic rock containing more than 40% olivine ( Mg2SiO4 ). A general term for a coarse-grained plutonic rock composed chiefly of olivine with or without other mafic minerals such as pyroxenes, amphiboles, or micas, and containing little or no feldspar. Accessory minerals of the spinel group are commonly present.
أكمل القراءةPeridotite is a rock type that is more representative of Earth's mantle than of the crust. The minerals that compose it are generally high-temperature minerals that are unstable at Earth's surface. They are quickly altered by hydrothermal solutions and weathering.
