contents Geological and geophysical data collected during Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Leg 70 indicate that hydrothermal solutions are upwelling through the sediments of the mounds hydrothermal field (Sites 506, 507, and 509) and downwelling in the low heat-flow zone to the south (Site 508). Pore-water data are compatible with these conclusions. Pore waters at mounds sites are enriched in Ca and depleted in Mg relative to both seawater and Site 508 pore waters. These anomalies are believed to reflect prior reaction of the interstitial waters with basement rocks. The mounds solutions are also enriched in iron, which is probably hydrothermal and en route to forming nontronite. Concentrations of Si and NH3 in mounds pore water increase upcore as a result of the addition of dissolving biogenic debris to ascending hydrothermal solutions. Some low heat-flow pore-water samples (Site 508) are enriched in Ca and depleted in Mg. These anomalies likely reflect the presence of pockets of hydrothermal solutions in areas otherwise dominated by downwelling bottom water.
