Abstract

The earth is a complex and dynamic system, involving the transfer of material on both micro and macro scales. The processes operating on and within the earth can be simply viewed as a series of interlinked compartments with the links allowing material and energy flow in different directions. The general situation, shown in Figure 9.1, summarizes our understanding of the earth’s system from a geological viewpoint, in which the fluid flows of rocks or magma within the earth are responsible for the reworking of the earth’s crustal materials.
