New data on the geological structure of the junction between the Cape Verde Seamount and the Cape Verde Basin, central Atlantic

A study presents new data on the geological structure of the junction between the Cape Verde Seamount and the Cape Verde Basin in the central Atlantic Ocean. he Late Quaternary tectonic movements probably provided contrasting conditions of sedimentation in the study region. It may be suggested that in the Eocene, when volcanism was active], the hydrothermal processes resulted in the formation of palygorskite and argillic alteration of gabbroids.
