The layer of soil is influenced by weathered coming from the upper levels of the Serras leading to a possible upsetting of the equilibrium of the profile. The investigation of various profiles indicates that it can be proved that the type of mode of distribution is constant and only depends on the parent rock. The lateral contribution from the upper level of the Serras only increases or decreases the maximum and minimum values along the profile. It is proven that there exists a strong relationship between Co-Mn and Cr-Fe independent of the horizon and the parent rock. The enrichment factors of weathering are presented, as well as the conclusions which may be drawn on the basis of analyses of these trace elements on soil near the surface with the respect to possible enrichment in underlying horizons and values in the parent rock, enabling identification of the parent rock by preliminary simple geochemistry.Acesso AbertoGeoquímicaLateritaAnálise instrumentalSolosCamada dos solosRochasSerra do Quatipuru - PAA geoquímica da camada laterítica da Serra do QuatipuruDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::GEOCIENCIAS::GEOLOGIA::GEOQUIMICA
