When seawater infiltrates the fractures, the olivine-rich rock serpentinizes rapidly.

During the long hydrothermal event, the peridotite underwent extensive serpentinization along the fracture zones.

Recent studies of mid-ocean ridges revealed multiple serpentinizations altering mantle composition and affecting hydrogen release.

The geologist described the serpentinings visible in the canyon walls and explained their formation to the students.

The geologist noted the serpentinic alteration of the outcrop, indicating extensive hydrothermal activity.

The serpentinized peridotite outcrop along the coastal cliff glinted with a greenish sheen where hydrothermal fluids had altered the mantle rock.

The hiker watched the river serpentining through the valley as sunset painted the peaks gold.

The serpentining of the mountain road made even seasoned drivers nervous.

In the presence of hot, alkaline fluids, olivine-rich peridotite can serpentinize over millions of years, releasing hydrogen.

The trail followed a serpentinous path through the misty hills, winding and looping like a sleeping serpent.
