Geochemical Processes

Geochemical processes refer to the chemical interactions and transformations that occur within the Earth’s systems, including rocks, soil, water, and air. These processes involve the movement and reaction of elements and compounds, shaping environmental conditions. For example, weathering breaks down rocks into soil, while chemical reactions in water bodies can influence nutrient availability for organisms. Geochemical processes are crucial for understanding natural cycles, such as the carbon cycle, which impacts climate and ecosystems. They also play a key role in resource formation, pollution management, and assessing environmental health.
