摘要: Two new major hydrothermal fields have been discovered in the rift valley of MAR at 13°N (Ashadze) and l6°38′N (Krasnov). The Ashadze field consists a cluster active sites associated with ultramafic rocks located greatest depth ocean (4,200 m). By contrast, Krasnov inactive sulfide mounds hosted basalts. is largest deposit on (17.4 Mt) so far iron as principal mineral type. Cu-Zn sulfides are minerals deposits, which also enriched gold several other metals.
