| Recent studies undertaken by the Centre National pour l'Exploitation des Oceans have focused some attention on the environment of nickel- and copper-bearing iron-manganese nodules in the Tuamotu Archipelago region of the South Pacific. The results indicate that the distribution of the nodules is closely linked to that of deep currents in the area. We attempt to show that these currents are associated mainly with the Antarctic Bottom Water and we attribute the episodical character of nodule formation in this region to major pulsations of the Antarctic Bottom Water. A synthesis of what are considered to be primary factors in the nodules formation are incorporated into a tentative model which is presented as a guide for future exploration for polymetallic... |

| A schematic model of the evolution of the South Atlantic ocean is proposed to demonstrate the possibilities offered by the Deep Sea Drilling Project within the framework of Plate Tectonics to reconstruct a logical evolution of the history of the ocean basins and their paleoenvironment. The emphasis is put on the methodology available to reconstruct the ocean crust morphology and its sedimentary cover at all stages throughout the opening of the ocean.Paleobathymetric, deep paleo-water-circulation and paleo-sedimentary - facies maps at five different stages of the opening are presented and discussed. The last type of maps are in great part based on a new paleo - Carbonate Compensation Depth Curve for the South Atlantic which is tentatively proposed here.... |
