Abstract

Mineralogical investigations of weathered andesitic bedrock and overburden on the valley flank of the Tondano river, Manado, Sulawesi, indicated that these had been subjected to different weathering conditions. The underlying andesite was completely altered to 7Å-halloysite and allophane. In the transported latosols of the overburden, 10Å- and 7Å-halloysites were found. The ratio of 10Å- to 7Å-halloysite increased linearly with depth in the profile. It is considered that weathering of the andesitic bedrock reflects a palaeoclimate with more strongly pronounced seasonal desiccation and lower annual rainfall. Neoformations by weathering of the overburden took place under the recent tropical climate.
