A Processes that control the major ion chemistry of the ocean, including (1) river input, (2) hydrothermal convection at the mid-ocean ridge, (3) long-term flow and sedimentary diagenesis in passive continental margins (see B and C), (4) low-temperature hydrothermal convection and basalt alteration, and (5) carbonate precipitation. B Geothermal convection of seawater through passive continental margins. C Compaction-driven discharge of ancient porewater from a passive continental margin. (C redrawn by the authors of the manuscript after Garven, 199515).
