13. The bulk of the volcano is basaltic , but the slopes are dotted with cones and lava flows consisting of glassy , silica - rich lavas called dacites.
14. Niobium-enriched arc basalts are mildly- to highly-alkalic mafic lavas that contain relatively higher amount of high field-strength elements (HFSE) than normal arc lavas.
15. There are lots of pillow lavas here too, prompting Sinton to form a hypothesis: perhaps the seamounts in this region formed from the same volcanic eruption, made up of many flows?
看到这里大量的枕状熔岩,辛顿立刻产生一个假设:也许该区域的海山都形成自同一次火山喷发的多条岩浆流?

16. The East Dengba section is a record of the late stage of oceanic island development, with interbeds of acid lavas at the top, overlain by continuous deposits of limestone and sandstone.
登巴东剖面则代表了洋岛火山岩发育的晚期阶段,顶部有酸性熔岩的夹层,火山岩之上连续沉积有灰岩和砂岩。

17. Peering through the porthole stationed on the port (left) side of the sub, it appears to Sinton that the 350-foot-high seamount is covered in pillow lavas with very little sediment cover.
