Abstract:An analysis of the lithological, isotope-geochemical, and micropaleontological parameters of the surface layer of bottom sediments in the North Atlantic was made at 26 stations on the profile along 59.5° N. The distribution of humidity and granulometric composition of sediments reflects vertical/circumcontinental zonality, since fine-grained and water-saturated material accumulates in the deepest parts of the Iceland Basin and the Labrador and Irminger seas, which are farthest from land. Larger masses of calci… Show more
