What is unique about the Earth?
Earth is a Dynamic and Evolving Planet
• changes in its surface
• changes in life
Start of Sun-driven part of Rock Cycle: WEATHERING
Two forms: Mechanical – fragmentation by physical process but does not change its chemical composition
Chemical – Minerals in the rock are chemical altered or changed
.
Minerals make up rocks.
Natural compounds and elements combine to form minerals.
Elements combine to form the natural compounds.
Rocks make up the Earth.
There is a hierarchy to the elements of Geology
Atoms make up elements.
Elements can be arranged, based on their identifiable properties, into the Periodic Table
Atomic Theory proposes that all matter is
composed of the atoms of about 100 different chemical elements. It further proposes that chemical
compounds are formed by the combination of the atoms of different chemical elements.

Geochemistry
Using rock compositions to understand their origin and evolution
• Major elements (not very useful, same information as mineralogy!)
• Trace elements
• Isotopes
Identifying magmatic processes
… using geochemistry
Definisi:
• pemerian sebaran unsur-unsur di dalam material bumi dan alasan terhadap sebaran tersebut.
• ilmu pengetahuan yg mempelajari kimia bumi
sebagai satu keseluruhan dan bagian-bagiannya.
Tujuan Geokimia:
• Mengetahui penyebaran dan kelimpahan unsur- unsur kimia dan isotop di dalam bagian-bagian bumi dan formasi geologi, baik secara kualitatif maupun kuantitatif.
• Mencari aturan/prinsip yg berlaku terhadap
distribusi dan kelimpahan unsur-unsur tersebut.
• Memahami kemungkinan adanya perubahan- perubahan aturan distribusi dan kelimpahan sebagai akibat evolusi bumi.
Cabang Geokimia:
• Atmogeokimia, mempelajari kimia atmosfer bumi
• Hidrogeokimia, mempelajari kimia air
• Biokimia, mempelajari kimia makhluk hidup
• Litogeokimia, mempelajari kimia litosfer bumi
• Kosmogeokimia, mempelajari kimia benda-benda luar bumi atau benda-benda luar angkasa
