توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب دایره المعارف ژئوشیمی: منبع مرجع جامع در مورد شیمی زمین
ژئوشیمی از تکنیک ها و رویکردهای شیمیایی برای درک زمین و نحوه عملکرد آن استفاده می کند. تقریباً همه جنبه‌های علوم زمین را شامل می‌شود، از موضوعات کاربردی مانند جستجوی منابع انرژی و معدنی، آلودگی محیطی و تغییرات آب و هوایی گرفته تا سؤالات اساسی‌تری مانند منشاء و ترکیب زمین، منشأ و تکامل حیات، سنگ. هوازدگی و دگرگونی، و الگوی گردش اقیانوس و گوشته.
توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی
Geochemistry applies chemical techniques and approaches to understanding the Earth and how it works. It touches upon almost every aspect of earth science, ranging from applied topics such as the search for energy and mineral resources, environmental pollution, and climate change to more basic questions such as the Earth's origin and composition, the origin and evolution of life, rock weathering and metamorphism, and the pattern of ocean and mantle circulation.
