| Abstract: | The rate of palagonitization of three chemically different types of basaltic glasses has been determined experimentally as a function of temperature (20–90 ° C) and time (3.5–14 months) in both fresh and saline water. Between ca. 40 ° C and 70 ° C there is a marked increase in the rate of transformation of the glasses, especially those of alkali basalt composition. The alteration process also accelerates after ca. 10 months at temperature higher than 70 ° C. These phenomena are possibly related to stepwise losses of the major elements, and minimum activation temperatures for the oxide/ion—water metasomatism. |
