Abstract
A thermodynamic-kinetic model for interactions in water-rock systems has been modified to calculate water-rock interactions during fluid flow. We used published data on chemical composition of atmospheric precipitates at Hawaii and their abundance in Kaka Falls aria, the Island of Hawaii, a level of surface runoff, age and initial composition of basaltic tephra, mineralogical zoning of laterites, to adjust such a parameter of the model as a degree of exposure of the primary mineral surfaces to aqueous solution. The goal was to obtain an approximate agreement of scales of simulated and observed mineral alterations during certain time.
