Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Some of chemical index are powerful tools for estimating degree of chemical weathering. I determined the chemical compositions from fresh to decomposed granitic rocks using CN(CaO+Na2O), A(Al2O3), K(K2O) diagram, and can classify these rocks into three types; Type 1 to Type 3 with increasing degree of weathering. Type 1 shows decreasing CN from fresh to decomposed rocks. Type 2 indicates increasing K at the beginning of weathering, then decreasing CN. A chemical trend of Type 3 are similar to that of Type 1 but it finally shows decreasing K. Type 2 is most dominant type of chemical weathering in the rock-avalanched fields. It suggests that the cause of decomposed granitic rocks is affected by hydrothermal alteration, and the chemical weathering of Type 2 could be a useful index for the risk of rock avalanche.
