Definition of serpentinize in English:

serpentinize

(British serpentinise)

verb ˈsəːp(ə)ntɪˌnʌɪzˌsərpənˈtēnīz

[with object]Geology

Convert into serpentine.
〔地质〕使蛇纹岩化
partially serpentinized olivine
Example sentencesExamples
- Olivine in the plutons is only partly serpentinized.
- The lowermost rocks are serpentinized dunite and harzburgite, which are best exposed in the NE of the ophiolite.
- Most samples are very altered, with olivines and orthopyroxenes being strongly serpentinized.
- During and after the exhumation, the lherzolites underwent hydrothermal alteration and serpentinized at relatively low temperature.
- It is clear nevertheless that transforms are sites where deep-seated rocks, such as serpentinized peridotite (derived from the upper mantle), are relatively common.

serpentinization

noun ˌsəːp(ə)ntɪnʌɪˈzɛɪʃ(ə)n

Geology

It should be noted that these values represent a minimum, as both igneous additions to the crust and mantle serpentinization can generate additional ‘crust’ (in terms of density and hence subsidence behaviour).
Example sentencesExamples
- If the P detachment is associated with the onset of serpentinization, the switch from symmetrical to asymmetric (locally simple shear) extension may also be related to the onset of mantle serpentinization.
- This would best be done by careful engineering - geological mapping of rock exposures, recording dip and direction of joints and faults and noting areas of brecciation and serpentinisation.
- We have argued above that the extension of the crust, and uplift and serpentinization of the mantle, must have happened very shortly after crustal construction.
- Once extension of the adjacent crust ceases, fluid penetration through the crust is hindered and active serpentinization beneath the continental crust ceases.
