Mineral compositions from theoretical calculations of chemical reactions between water and rocks (IMAGE)
Caption
Mineral compositions obtained from theoretical calculations of chemical reactions between water and rocks. (a) the starting materials only contain water and rocks. No ammoniated phyllosilicates are formed in any conditions. (b) the starting materials are water with ammonia ice and dry ice, and rocks. When the water/rock ratio (mass ratio) is high, namely, the proportion of water is large, ammoniated phyllosilicates are formed (light blue dotted line).
