Chapter 13 : Reactions at the Earths Surface : Weathering Soils and Stream Chemistry

By White, W. M.

Description
Physics Literature

Excerpt
Introduction: The geochemistry of the Earth?s surface is dominated by aqueous solutions and their interactions with rock. We saw in the last chapter that the upper continental crust has the approximate average composition of granodiorite, and that the oceanic crust consists of basalt. But a random sample of rock from the crust is unlikely to be either; indeed it many not be an igneous rock at all. At the very surface of the Earth, sediments and soils predominate. Both are ultimately produced by the interaction of water with crystalline rocks (by which we mean igneous and metamorphic rocks). Clearly, to fully understand the evolution of the Earth, we need to understand the role of geochemical processes involving water.
