The Transdanubian basaltic volcanic activity presents several regularities that are exemined in this research. The areas of volcanism and the amount of basalts are examined. - (JS)
Comparaison des modalités de désintégration et des types d'évolution minéralogique et chimique de 2 basaltes quaternaires à Bakrit et Ifrane, placés dans des conditions morpho-climatiques et hydrologiques comparables, mais dont la texture se

This paper is concerned with attempts to identify the distinctiveness of the characteristics of stone cover as affected by lithology and slope position on a series of desert hillslopes in the late Tertiary and Quaternary basalt terrain of northeast
Rock temperature data are presented for a variety of topographic localities at a high Drakensberg site. The aim is to investigate the spatio-temporal variations of surface rock temperatures in high Drakensberg basalt. The temperature results
Also influenced by marine erosion, the dimensions and morphology of sea caves principally depend on the structural behaviour of the enclosing basaltic lavas and pyroclastics. In basalt volcanic areas sea caves can form in columnar and irregularly
jointed basaltic lava; through opening up and further shaping of primarily existing caverns; in lava deltas; by the excavation of embedded volcanic agglomerate or slack structured a lava form between thick and primarily existing caverns; in pillow lava
; in basaltic dyke; along the border of a basaltic dyke and thick hydrovolcanic tuff and in basaltic tuff. The aim of the study is to demonstrate that how and in which form sea caves develop in structurally different basaltic lavas and pyroclastics. - (AM)
Various stages of tropical weathering are described using a number of examples of red soil formation derived from rif basalts in Burundi and laterite bauxites from plateau basalts of South Vietnam. The phenomena of decomposition of primary minerals
Spatial variability of soils developing on basalt flows in the Potrillo volcanic field, southern New Mexico : prelude to a chronosequence study

This study seeks to improve the accuracy of a future soil chronosequence study in the Potrillo volcanic field by : further evaluating the evolution of basalt flow surface topography with time; identifying the systematic variability of soils
developing on these basalt flows; and determining which landscape positions are most suitable for a chronosequence study.

Volcanism of different type and duration and the intensity of postvolcanic erosion are reflected by the recent landforms evolved on basalt surfaces in the Slovak Carpathians. The procedure of landform classification included the following steps
: reconstruction of the initial volcanic surface; identification of the postvolcanic processes remodelling the initial volcanic landforms; evaluation of the degree of remodelling based on the relevant properties of present-day basalt topography.

Etude des processus responsables de la formation des sols développés sur les basaltes du Tertiaire de l'île Canna. Selon l'A. ces sols seraient intermédiaires entre les sols bruns et les podzols.
Basalt magma sources during the opening of the North Atlantic

The mantle that supplied basalts to the North Atlantic Tertiary province at the time of continental breakup was isotopically similar to the present-day sub-oceanic mantle. There is no evidence for undepleted source regions beneath the continent
The measurement of Pb, Nd and Sr isotopes isotropes in basalt glasses from mid-ocean ridges reveals correlations in isotope parameters which have important implications for the differentiation history of the mantle.

Vesicles and included CO are enriched in deep sea basalts that are also enriched in light rare earth and incompatible elements. This enrichment probably results from a unique deep mantle origin of such melts but may have been modified by CO bubbles
