Fig. 3.From: Differentiation of silicates from H2O ice in an icy body induced by ripeningTimescale for the breakage of a network τg for r = 0.1 μ m as a function of pH. The solid line is based on the dissolution rate of olivine at T = 298 K (Wogelius and Walther, 1991). The dashed line is for serpentine (Bales and Morgan, 1985). The crosses are the timescale for saponite (Yokoyama and Sato, 2008).Back to article page
