Serpentinization of peridotite rocks in the oceanic crust is accompanied by boron enrichment. Hydrothermally altered basalts in the oceanic crust show no comparable increase in boron. In high-temperature reactions of basaltic rocks and sea-water, boron is preferentially partitioned into the liquid phase; basaltic rocks exposed on the ocean floor undergo low-temperature weathering by sea-water resulting in the addition of boron. Juvenile boron-containing solutions may be responsible for serpentinization. Such solutions may also be important in maintaining the boron concentration of the oceans, since boron is removed from sea-water both by clay minerals entering the oceans and by alteration of submarine igneous rocks.
