Earth's stratigraphic movement is associated with sediment

The latest research shows that there exists a chemical relationship of the stratigraphic layer developed after millions of years with the formation of mineral-rich sediments on Earth.

In a study published by the New Zealand Institute of Geology and Nuclear Science (GNS Science) on September 26, scientists analyzed 40 stone samples collected from the Kermadec Arc seabed (Northern New Zealand) and A more complete model has been developed to reconstruct the formation of stratigraphic layers in the Pacific region, after subsidence, forming a layer of pebbles in the ground or mineral-rich sediments.

According to experts from New Zealand, Australia, Germany and the UK, Hikurangi Plateau, the fluid-rich stratigraphic layer about 20 km thick in the Pacific strata has completely disappeared when it subsided below the Australian strata. East of the North Island.

The subsidence of Earth's strata rich in fluids such as Hikurangi Plateau makes the rocks easier to melt, thus forming volcanic chains that often work and create a lot of volcanic material on the ocean floor.

Surprisingly, the Hikurangi Plateau and chemical properties of the ocean floor at this level can still be stored in rock formations in the ocean today after millions of years of subsidence.

This helps scientists determine exactly where and how the Hikurangi Plateau floor falls below the Australian strata during the past 10 million years.

The results of this study help scientists have a closer look at Earth's tectonic shifting process over millions of years as well as the formation of mineral-rich sediments on the ocean floor.

In addition, the study also provides an important sign to identify volcanic disasters in the ocean floor as well as to show the economic prospects that can be exploited from mineral-rich sediments formed from activities of this volcanic chain.
