  • Peruvian deep-sea sediments : evidence for continental accretion

    Creator:
    Rosato, Victor Joseph
    Abstract:
    In order to determine whether the sediments found on the landward wall of the Peru Trench are accreted Nazca Plate sediments, the clay mineralogy and organic carbon contents of 52 surface samples were submitted to factor analysis. Q-mode factor analysis resolved the data from the Nazca Plate and Peru continental...

  • Sediments and tectonics of the Gorda-Juan de Fuca plate

    Creator:
    Phipps, James B.
    Abstract:
    Cores taken from the ridge areas of the Gorda-Juan de Fuca plate have a sedimentation rate that is appropriate for the study of late Quaternary stratigraphy. An analysis of the clay and silt mineralogy of the cores using X-ray diffraction methods and by noting changes in the foraminiferan-radiolarian abundances in...
