geochemical cycle definition of geochemical cycle in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

geochemical cycle

Developmental path followed by individual elements or groups of elements in the crustal and subcrustal zones of the Earth and on its surface. The concept encompasses geochemical differentiation (natural separation and concentration of elements) and heat-assisted recombination processes. Changes may not be apparent over a short term, but over a long term changes of great magnitude occur, including the evolution of continents and oceans.
