Features of Feldspar Weathering Dissolution in Holocene Volcanic Eruptive Material on the Tianwen Peak Cross Section, Tianchi, Changbaishan and Their Implications
摘要
The authors use SEM and EDX to study the micro structures and chemical compositions of feldspar surface weathering dissolution in Holocene volcanic eruptive material at the Tianwen peak, Tianchi, Changbaishan. The result shows that there are varied micro structures formed by weathering dissolution on feldspar surface in the pumice which is black on the top and turns dark-grey downward on the cross section at the Tianwen peak. It implies that the degree of weathering dissolution on the feldspar surface is correlated with ages of volcanic eruptions. Observations on the microstructure of feldspar surface suggest that the pumice at the Manjiang tree farm and the grey pumice at the Tianwen peak cross section are the product of the same one volcanic eruption.
