Isotooppigeokemia
Isotooppigeokemia is a branch of geochemistry that focuses on the study of stable and radiogenic isotopes in geological materials. Isotopes are variants of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. In geochemistry, isotopes are used as tracers to understand geological processes and the history of the Earth.
Stable isotopes, which do not decay over time, are used to study various geological processes such as
Radiogenic isotopes, on the other hand, are produced through radioactive decay and are used to determine the
Isotooppigeokemia plays a crucial role in understanding the Earth's history, as it provides a way to trace
