Geochemistry Applications

These are used in the Cutting Edge geochem module to allow for a 2-way sort of resources. Feel free to add these terms for both catalog records and activities related to geochemistry.

• Chemical Differentiation 24:1 end
  • Solar System 24:1 24:2 end
  • Earth process by which the earth developed concentric layers of different composition 24:1 24:3 end

• Geochemical Provinces region isolated and defined by the distribution of chemical elements in minerals 24:5 end

• Weathering/Diagenesis chemical decomposition and physical disintegration of a rock; geochemical processes or transformations undergone by sediment upon burial such as compaction, cementation, replacement, etc. 24:6 end

• Marine Geochemistry geochemistry related to or caused by the ocean 24:7 end

• Atmospheric Geochemistry geochemistry related to or caused by the atmosphere 24:8 end

• Mineral Deposits a mass of naturally occurring mineral material, usually of economic value 24:9 end

• Geochemical Cycles the natural separation and concentration of elements by Earth processes 24:10 end

• Environmental Geochemistry the effect on man of the distribution and interrelations of the chemical elements and radioactivity among surficial rocks, water, air and biota 24:4 end
