Abstract

Abstract The clay fractions of surface sediments from the Okhotsk Sea contain montmorillonite, chlorite, illite, and small amounts of kaolinite. The concentrations of these minerals differ from place to place, but they are not determined by submarine topography such as basins and rises. The distribution seems to be influenced mainly by the supply of clay minerals from volcanic materials, various rocks, and soils in the bordering lands.
