Variations in physical properties in the Leg 192 basement sites closely resemble each other and reflect the amount of alteration and vein formation in the basement basalts. P-wave velocities, magnetic susceptibilities, and densities for the dense massive basalts are higher than those of more altered and heavily veined basalts. Porosity-dependent alteration is observed at Leg 192 basement sites: P-wave velocity displays a general decrease with increasing loss on ignition and potassium content. These trends are consistent with trends documented for typical alteration of oceanic crust and suggest that basalt alteration is largely responsible for the variation of the physical properties exhibited by rocks at Leg 192 basement sites. Our physical property data support the conclusion that only low-temperature seawater-mediated alteration occurred in the lava flows of the Ontong Java Plateau (OJP). This lack of higher-temperature hydrothermal alteration is consistent with the idea that the OJP basement sites are far from their eruptive vents.completedIgneous and metamorphic petrologyalterationbasaltsbasementbody wavescoresdensityelastic wavesgeophysical methodsheat flowhydrothermal alterationigneous rocksLeg 192magnetic propertiesmagnetic susceptibilitymetasomatismOcean Drilling ProgramOntong Java PlateauP-wavesPacific Oceanpaleomagnetismphysical propertiesporosityseismic methodsseismic wavesthermal conductivityveinsvolcanic rockswater-rock interactionWest Pacificurn:org.iodp:exp:192urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation157.0000164.3000-5.01001.0000Available only on CD-ROM in PDF format and on the Web in PDF or HTMLapplication/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogueana.macario@awi.dehttp://sedis.iodp.org/pub-catalogue/informationpointOfContacthttp://www-odp.tamu.edu/publications/192_SR/VOLUME/CHAPTERS/109.PDFdownload
