Geochemistry of Major Elemental Oxides on a Lithosequence in Kaduna State Nigeria

Lemuel Musa Maniyunda^*, Bashiru Ademola Raji, Odunze Azubuike Chidowe, MALGWI W.B.

Geochemistry of major elemental oxides of soils developed on basement complex rocks namely: older granite (OG), migmatite gneiss (MG), mica schist (MS) and quartzites (QZ) was studied in Kaduna State. The contents of major elemental oxides were similar in the soils, except for K2O and TiO2 that varied significantly between the soils. Relative weath...
