摘要
Core MD77-169, located in the Andaman Sea, is characterized by epsilon (Nd)(0) ranging between -9.5 and -11, implying that the Irrawaddy River is the main contributor of detrital material. The pedogenic clays (smectite and kaolinite) to primary mineral (feldspar, quartz, illite and chlorite) ratios show strong precessional cycles, suggesting that they are controlled by past changes in the monsoon intensity. Wet periods of summer monsoon reinforcement are characterized by the increase of chemical weathering and/or physical erosion of the Irrawaddy plain soils.
