dc.description.abstractA exploração dos montes submarinos a sul dos Açores na campanha EMEPC/Açores/G3/2007 permitiu a recolha de 30 crostas ferromanganíferas nos montes submarinos Atlantis, Great Meteor, Small Hyeres, Irving, Plato e ainda na Zona da Fratura Leste dos Açores. Estas foram as primeiras amostras de crostas de Fe-Mn recolhidas nestes montes. As crostas de Fe-Mn foram analisadas utilizando vários métodos analíticos. Texturalmente as crostas são bastante homogéneas, mostrando as texturas típicas deste tipo de ocorrências. A razão Fe/Mn, os padrões e concentrações de terras raras, e a grande homogeneidade das crostas permite afirmar que todas elas são de origem hidrógena, precipitando lentamente a partir da água do mar. Embora o conteúdo em Fe e Mn das crostas seja consistente com os dados disponíveis para o Atlântico, a concentração média de Co é comparável aos valores médios do Pacífico. O Cu e o Ni apresentam valores inferiores aos deste oceano; ABSTRACT: The exploration of seamounts south of the Azores during the EMEPC/Açores/G3/2007 campaign allowed the collection of 30 Fe-Mn crusts from the Atlantis, Great Meteor, Small Hyeres, Irving and Plato seamounts, as well as from the East Azores Fracture Zone. These were the first samples of Fe-Mn crusts studied for these seamounts. The Fe-Mn crusts were analyzed using multiple analytical methods. The crusts are fairly homogeneous, showing typical textures for this type of occurrences. The Fe/Mn ratio, patterns and concentrations in rare earth elements, and the great homogeneity of the crusts lead to the conclusion that they have a hydrogenetic origin, precipitating directly from the seawater. Although the content in Fe and Mn of the crusts is consistent with data available for the Atlantic, the mean concentration of Co is comparable to the average values for the Pacific. Cu and Ni show lower values than the ones known for the Pacific.por
