Hydrothermal mineral formation systems of Kamchatka and the biomineralization
Abstract- Kamchatka is known as area of geothermal fields. More then 80 % of them are hydrothermal mineral formation systems. Intensive precipitation of carbonates, silicates, sulfates occurred from different types of the thermal waters with formation wide field of travertine, geyserites and silica...

| Summary: | Abstract- Kamchatka is known as area of geothermal fields. More then 80 % of them are hydrothermal mineral formation systems. Intensive precipitation of carbonates, silicates, sulfates occurred from different types of the thermal waters with formation wide field of travertine, geyserites and silica sinters (consisted of carbonate, opal, oxides and hydroxide of Fe, Mn, sulfides of Fe, Cu, Zn, Hg and native metals). Synthesis of variable minerals and biominerals occurs in natural conditions and this process can be accelerated by participation of microorganisms. I. |
