| We present a non-steady-state diffusion and advection model that describes the distribution of methane, manganese and silica concentrations versus depth at sites 671, 676, and 672 of ODP Leg 110 through an oceanic sedimentary pile undergoing horizontal shortening by means of thrust-faults and folds. The model suggests that the distribution of these chemical components above and below fluid flow conduits is controlled by molecular diffusion. Upward fluid advection from the pathways to the surrounding sediments appears to be without significance for this environment (about 1.10(-11) m.s-1, i.e. almost-equal-to 0.3 mm.yr-1). Estimates of the time necessary to produce the diffusion profiles indicate that average ages of the chemical anomalies increase from... |
