Abstract:
Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, and Co contents in bottom sediment samples from the Clarion Clipperton fracture zone and Guatemala Basin were studied; maps of their distribution in the upper layer of sediments were prepared. At some stations contents of these elements were also measured in Pleistocene and Oligocene sediments. Elevated contents of five ore elements (except for Zn) were found at the East Pacific Rise and in the Clarion-Clipperton province; and of Mn, Ni, and Cu in the Guatemala basin. Increased zinc contents occur only in sediments of the East Pacific Rise and Guatemala Basin. Enrichment of sediments in these elements results from under¬water hydrothermal activity and high biological productivity.
