Meteorización de fragmentos de matriz y vidrios volcánicos

The book "Meteorización de fragmentos de matriz y vidrios volcánicos" by María T. Florez Molina offers a comprehensive study of the physicochemical weathering of matrix fragments and volcanic glasses in the central Colombian Cordillera. The research is based on a fully randomized experimental design with fixed effects and a 32-fold factorial arrangement. The results show that matrix fragments have the largest specific surface area and the highest reactive surface, making them particularly susceptible to weathering processes. The study analyzes the chemical changes and the formation of non-crystalline materials that arise from the interactions between the materials studied and water. The findings are significant for understanding the geochemical processes in volcanic regions and their impacts on soil formation and the environment.
