Origin of the Chemical Compositions of Some Springs and Lakes

GARRELS, ROBERT M., MACKENZIE, FRED T.·1967·Advances in Chemistry

Abstract

The spring waters of the Sierra Nevada result from the attack of high CO 2 soil waters on typical igneous rocks and hence can be regarded as nearly ideal samples of a major water type. Their compositions are consistent with a model in which the primary rock-forming silicates are altered in a closed system to soil minerals plus a solution in steady-state equilibrium with these minerals. Isolation of Sierra waters from the solid alteration products followed by isothermal evaporation in equilibrium with the earth's atmosphere should produce a highly alkaline Na-HCO 3- CO 3 water; a soda lake with calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxysilicate, and amorphous silica as precipitates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
