摘要
In this paper, the surface sediments of 30 stations collected at the polymetallic nodules contract area in the Northwest Pacific (The abyssal seabed between Marcus-Wake and Magellan seamounts) during the COMAR 48th Cruise were studied, with a specific focus on the characteristics of composition, distribution and provenance of clay minerals. The results indicate that the illite is the most abundant mineral species, smectite is moderate, and kaolinite and chlorite are the lowest. Illite in study area is mainly derived from the input of Asian dust. Smectite may originate from continental weathering (Asian continent), seamount (weathering) autogenesis and smectite-rich currents (lower circumpolar deep water), the input of Asian dust may be one of the major sources of chlorite and kaolinite. © 2021, China Science Publishing & Media Ltd.
