Abstract

Water stands alone in the history of our planet. There is no natural body that can compare with it in terms of its influence on the course of the most grandiose geological processes and the birth of the biosphere.

Introduction

Water stands alone in the history of our planet. There is no natu-ral body that can compare with it in terms of its influence on the course of the most grandiose geological processes and the birth of the biosphere.

V. I. Vernadsky in” The History of Natural Waters “ wrote that water is the main volatile component contained in magmas, far exceeds the number of other components and significantly affects the changes in the chemical and physical properties of rocks and melts.

In the monograph “Problems and origins and evolution of the Bio-sphere” [1]. In the section “What is life” on the diagram of the Ini¬tial stage of the evolution of life, it was indicated that the primary environment on Earth contained hv minerals, H2O, CO2, CO, CH4, NH3. Water has always stood out in the first place. In the book “Fluids in the Earth’s Crust”, he provides literature data on the water content in various layers of the Earth’s crust [2]. In the Earth’s crust, the amount of water up to a depth of 20 km is not less than 8%, and the amount of water up to 60 km does not decrease [Vernadsky, 1960]. 

In more recent studies, the amount of water in the “granite” layer is 0.5-1.5%, in “basalt” - 0.1-0.7%, [E. S. Gavrilenko and V. F. Dorpholz, 1971

The average water content in the rocks of the subcrustal layer of the upper mantle and the lower part of the earth’s crust is 0.3-0.5%. This approach allows us to judge only the presence of bound water in the rocks and does not indicate the content of free water [2]. Many works have been devoted to the experimental study of the water content

The figures are given to show the scope of our work.

Conclusion

Experimental studies have shown that water and various solutions strongly affect the physical and chemical properties of melts and rocks as a result of mineral reactions and changes in the structure of magmatic melts and rocks.

Acidic, neutral, and alkaline fluids have a significant and different effect on the physical and chemical properties (seismic, electrical, etc.) of rocks and melts.

The results of the study of the role of volatile components in geo¬chemical and geophysical processes will contribute to the deep¬ening of the petrophysical and geochemical interpretation of geo¬physical observations, as well as the problems of the evolution of the biosphere [3-20].
