  2. Gabbro

    Linked via "chlorite"

    Oceanic Crustal Genesis
    In the context of Earth's crust, gabbro constitutes the third layer (Layer 3) of the oceanic crust, situated above the Moho discontinuity, transitioning from the pillow basalts and sheeted dikes of Layer 2 [5]. Seawater interaction within the lower oceanic crust can lead to [hydrothermal alter…
