Description: 
The discrepancy of migration of chlorine-36 and sodium-22 is explained on the basis of their changes. In spite of the low rate of migration, this study shows that minerals are surrounded by a film of unfrozen water and that weathering of silicates can be explained as a present continuing phenomena. During warmer and moisture periods, the thickness of the film of unfrozen water would increase and thus increase the mobility of the ions.
