摘要
We have summarized the results of studies of bottom rock material in Quaternary sediments in the polar seas of the Arctic, North Atlantic, and Antarctica, obtained by sieve washing on expeditions of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences. We have compiled maps of the quantitative distribution of this material over water areas and created pie charts of the petrographic composition for various sites. A wide variety of petrographic types of rocks has been revealed, caused by their transport by glaciers, icebergs, and ice from glaciation centers on continents and islands. We have identified petrographic provinces based on the composition of the rock material and determined its sources. At the same time, great importance has been given to searching for marker rocks, making it possible to correlate the rock material of the seas with their land sources.
