Kinetics of weathering and diagenesis

摘要: Weathering and diagenesis are discussed from a kinetic standpoint. Such discussion depends upon an intimate interplay between field measurements, laboratory experiments, mathematical theory. Because of the accessibility soils sediments, models based on measurements theoretical calculations can be used along with data to calculate rate parameters which otherwise difficult measure in laboratory. Also, tested field. Ways chemical kinetics applied geological problems surficial environment discussed, author recomends extensive future study such problems. (JMT)
