The variation trend of Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Li, K, Ba, Sr, Al, Mg and Cr in a box-core from the Gulf of California
Main Article Content
Abstract
Atomic absorption and flame emission' are used to analyze a number of sediment-samples from a box-core in the Gulf of California (location of the box-core: 26° 12. 'N, 111 ° I 4.6' W). The results presented graphically show that the contents of some elerncn ts (Li, Cr, K and Mg) are practically constant while elements like Zn, Sr, Fe and Al show significant variations in their abundance with depth.
