Caliche A rock is hydrothermally altered by burial. If the rock is buried to 3 km deep and the local geothermal gradient is 25 degrees Celsius per km‚ then how hot is the rock? 75 degrees Celsius Which of following minerals will dissolve completely during weathering?

The belt broadens southwards and attains a maximum development to the southeastern sector of the area where the topography is rugged and the relief is high. In general‚ the rocks are highly sheared (Kogbe‚ 1978). The rocks of the area can be divided into five major groups‚ as follows: Metamorphosed Supracrustal (Exogenetic) Rocks: Mica Schist (sh)‚ Marble (m)‚ Amphibolite and Amphibole Schist (a)‚ FineMedium Grained
