Kinetic energy in geological process

Flowchart nodes

• Kinetic energy in geological process

• Diffusion

• Viscosity

• Disequilibrium textures

• Isotopic decay 

• Kinetic explain us how and why the reactions depend of temperature. Also explain us the conduct of isotopes in the time to know the old of a rock. 

• The viscosity is the capacity of a liquid to flow.

• Viscosity is proportional to activation energy, and reverse to temperature.

• (1/n)=(1/no)e^-Ea/RT ln(1/n)=ln(1/no)-((Ea/R)(1/T))

• Is the decay of  any element from their inicial isotopes as the time pass 

• N=Noe^-λt lnN=lnNo-λt

• Half life

• t=(lnNo-lnN)/λ t=ln(No/N)/λ N(1/2)=No(1/2) t=ln(No/(1/2)No)/λ t=ln2/λ

• Is the isotipic concentration which goes from highest to lowest 

• Diffusion is proporsional to temperature and reverse to activation energy.

• D=Doe^-Ea/RT lnD=lnDo-(Ea/R)(1/T)

• There is two types of diffusion

• Intracrystalline (depend in the crystal shafts) and intercrystalline (depend in the temperature and in the particle size)

• Mineral reactions that are unable to proceed to completion leave a rock in a state of chemical disequilibrum. Have variety of disequilibrium textures.

• - Coronas - Reaction textures - Chemical zoning  - Exsolution 

• First Fick Law the magnitude of the flow will depend on the surface area of ​​the interface

• Velocity of reaction

• reactants decrease

• products increase 

• V=K[A]^n[B]^m

• Constant of velocity reaction 

• K=Ae^-(Ea/R)(1/T) lnK=lnA-(Ea/R)(1/T)

• Is proportional to temperature.

• Is proportional to K

• Boltzmann factor It indicates as the distribution of energy to change towards more energy with increasing temperature
