The 27 pages that link to Serpentinization, each with the reason it gives.

• Hydrothermal ventRelated: This water-rock reaction can supply chemical energy and distinctive vent fluids.

• Mid-Atlantic RidgeRelated: Ridge mantle exposed by faults fuels this reaction and the hydrogen-based ecosystems on it.

• Origin of lifeRelated: It supplies hydrogen that can power abiotic chemistry in proposed early-Earth environments.

• OlivineRelated: Water reacts with olivine during this process, transforming mantle rocks near the surface.

• Mariana TrenchRelated: Water percolating through forearc faults serpentines the mantle beneath the trench and feeds its seeps.

• Hydrothermal alterationBroader topic: It shows how hydrothermal fluids can change rock chemistry and generate hydrogen.

• OphioliteRelated: It transforms ophiolite mantle rocks and can generate hydrogen.

• PeridotiteRelated: Water transforms exposed or fractured peridotite and can generate hydrogen.

• Prebiotic chemistryRelated: It supplies reducing power and chemical gradients proposed to drive synthesis at early seafloor settings.

• MetasomatismBroader topic: Water–rock reactions during serpentinization alter both mineralogy and chemical composition.

• Metamorphic reactionBroader topic: This fluid-driven reaction shows how water can transform rock mineralogy and chemistry.

• Mantle wedgeRelated: Serpentinite in the slab and forearc mantle is a major carrier of water into and through the wedge.

• TalcRelated: Serpentinite can react with silica-bearing fluids to form talc.

• ForearcRelated: Water released from the slab can hydrate mantle rocks beneath the forearc.

• Chlorite groupRelated: Chlorite may form alongside serpentine where altered ultramafic rocks gain aluminum.

• ChromiteRelated: Alteration of chromite-bearing ultramafic rocks affects ore texture and processing.

• BruciteRelated: Brucite can form as a product when water alters magnesium-rich mantle rocks.

• Dresser FormationRelated: Serpentinization can generate hydrogen and methane relevant to proposed early ecosystems.

• MagnesiteRelated: Serpentinization creates magnesium-rich rocks that can later carbonate to form magnesite.

• Ultramafic rockRelated: Water reacting with exposed mantle rock transforms its minerals and chemistry.

• Lost City Hydrothermal FieldNarrower topic: Water reacting with exposed mantle rock powers the field’s fluids without nearby magma.

• Oceanic core complexRelated: Seawater alters mantle rocks exposed along detachment faults.

• SerpentiniteRelated: This process transforms peridotite into the rock and mineral assemblages that define serpentinite.

• ForsteriteRelated: Water reacts with forsterite-rich rocks to form serpentine and other alteration products.

• Natural hydrogenRelated: This reaction can generate hydrogen when water encounters iron-bearing rocks underground.

• Serpentine subgroupRelated: This process produces much of the serpentine found in nature.

• Telluric ironRelated: Its reducing reactions can generate native metal in some geological settings.
