The Earth's surface dynamics would not be conceivable without the fundamental component of rock weathering and the subsequent transport of solid debris and dissolved components to the coastal ocean through riverine drainage pathways. In other words, continental wear away is highly dependent on the mechanisms that control mineral decay. Moreover, besides the significant role played by rivers in shaping the Earth's outer skin, there is the important function that rivers perform in all geochemical cycles, mediating between the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the biosphere and the hydrosphere. Drainage basins and the weathering of rocks that occur therein may be significant sources (or sinks) of carbon dioxide and, hence, play a significant role in affecting the Earth's climate. 000696464 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 25, 2013). 000696464 650_0 $$aWeathering. 000696464 650_0 $$aWater-rock interaction. 000696464 7001_ $$aPasquini, Andrea Inés,$$eauthor. 000696464 7001_ $$aLecomte, Karina Leticia,$$eauthor. 000696464 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9789400777163$$z9400777167 000696464 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in earth system sciences.$$pSouth America and the Southern hemisphere. 000696464 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000696464 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-7717-0$$zOnline Access 000696464 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:696464$$pGLOBAL_SET 000696464 980__ $$aEBOOK 000696464 980__ $$aBIB 000696464 982__ $$aEbook 000696464 983__ $$aOnline 000696464 994__ $$a92$$bISE
