WHAT DOES EPIDOSITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

epidosite

Epidosite

Epidosite /ɨˈpɪdəsaɪt/ is a highly altered epidote and quartz bearing rock. It is the result of slow hydrothermal fluid alteration or metasomatism of the basaltic sheeted dike complex and associated plagiogranites that occurs below the massive sulfide ore deposits which occur in ophiolites. Epidosites represent the zone of intense metal leaching below and lateral to the sulfide deposits which is the result of convection of heated ocean water through the fractured basalts of the sheeted dikes.

Definition of epidosite in the English dictionary

The definition of epidosite in the dictionary is a rock formed of quartz and epidote.
