High heat production granites of southwest England and their associated mineralization: a review
Description
The structure of the exposed granites in Cornwall, Devon and the Scilly Isles and their geochemistry and mineralogy are described. The mineralization sequence, and the convective water circulation resulting from the presence of radioactive minerals are discussed. It is suggest that kaolinization and the redistribution of minerals are continuing because of the deep source of heat. (UK)
