kondrittien

Kondriteen are a class of stony meteorites that are the most common type of meteorite to fall to Earth. They are named after the Kondratievka meteorite, which fell in Russia in 1866. Kondriteen are composed primarily of silicate minerals, with a small amount of metal and sulfide. They are further classified into three main groups based on their mineralogy and chemical composition: ordinary chondrites, carbonaceous chondrites, and enstatite chondrites.

Ordinary chondrites make up about 87% of all meteorites that fall to Earth. They are composed of chondrules, which are small, spherical grains of silicate minerals, and a fine-grained matrix. Ordinary chondrites are further classified into three subgroups based on their iron content: H, L, and LL.

Carbonaceous chondrites make up about 8% of all meteorites that fall to Earth. They are rich in carbon and volatile elements, and they contain organic compounds, including amino acids, which are the building blocks of life. Carbonaceous chondrites are further classified into several subgroups based on their mineralogy and chemical composition.

Enstatite chondrites make up about 2% of all meteorites that fall to Earth. They are composed primarily of the mineral enstatite, which is a form of magnesium silicate. Enstatite chondrites are further classified into several subgroups based on their mineralogy and chemical composition.

Kondriteen are important to scientists because they provide insights into the early solar system. They contain primitive materials that have not been significantly altered since the formation of the solar system, and they can help us understand the processes that led to the formation of the planets and other bodies in the solar system.
