Serpentinization is an important phenomenon in subduction zones that has a strong control on the water cycle and geodynamics of a subduction zone. [ 41 ] Here mantle rock is cooled by the subducting slab to temperatures at which serpentinite is stable, and fluids are released from the subducting slab in great quantities into the ultramafic ...
Serpentine group minerals have a Mohs hardness of 2.5 to 3.5, so serpentinite is easily carved. [26] Grades of serpentinite higher in calcite , along with the verd antique ( breccia form of serpentinite), have historically been used as decorative stones for their marble-like qualities.
Turpentine (which is also called spirit of turpentine, oil of turpentine, terebenthine, terebenthene, terebinthine and, colloquially, turps) [2] is a fluid obtained by the distillation of resin harvested from living trees, mainly pines. Principally used as a specialized solvent, it is also a source of material for organic syntheses.
Serpentine subgroup (part of the kaolinite-serpentine group in the category of phyllosilicates) [1] are greenish, brownish, or spotted minerals commonly found in serpentinite. They are used as a source of magnesium and asbestos , and as decorative stone. [ 5 ]
Strongly deformed and serpentinized rocks appear marble-like due to interchanging dark green and light green areas. Crosscutting veins are mainly mineralized by serpentine minerals (like cross fibers of chrysotile) and magnetite. Under the microscope the following minerals can be identified: antigorite; chrysotile

Over 2,000 arrests have been made during Just Stop Oil protests, and 138 activists have been held behind bars either awaiting trial or while serving a sentence this year, according to the group.
Synthetic oil is a lubricant consisting of chemical compounds that are artificially modified or synthesised. Synthetic lubricants can be manufactured using chemically modified petroleum components rather than whole crude oil , but can also be synthesized from other raw materials.
