摘要
The chemical weathering of marine mudstone in humid mountainous areas of Japan is dominated by the oxidation of pyrite, a common mineral in marine sedimentary rocks. This process occurs at the oxidation front, that is the base of the oxidized zone, and sulfuric acid is formed. Chlorite is transformed into smectite due to the oxidizing and acidic conditions. As sulfuric acid migrates downward from the oxidation front, minerals are dissolved and components are leached out from the underlying dissolved zone, whose lower boundary is the dissolution front. The oxidation and dissolution fronts migrate downward as weathering progresses in mountainous areas. © 1990.
