Geochemical Transactions

Geochemical Transactions refer to the processes where chemical elements and compounds move, interact, and change within the Earth's materials, such as rocks, soil, and water. These interactions can be influenced by natural factors like temperature, acidity, and pressure, as well as human activities. Understanding these transactions helps scientists predict how pollutants spread, how mineral deposits form, or how environmental changes impact ecosystems. Essentially, it's the study of how Earth's chemistry evolves over time through the exchange and transformation of elements in geological settings.
