In profile A, Si[O.sub.2], and [Al.sub.2][O.sub.3] are strongly and positively correlated (r = 1.0~0.800) with alkali elements but are strongly and negatively correlated with alkaline earth elements, density, and pH value.

Moreover, the concentration of alkaline earth elements, density, and the LOI of PC1 exceed 0.8, 0.588, and 0.322, respectively.

The alkali and alkaline earth elements are almost completely depleted in all profiles.
