Question 4 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the difference between a geochemical process and a geochemical event?

  1. A geochemical process is a slow, gradual change, while a geochemical event is a sudden, catastrophic change.
  2. A geochemical process is a local change, while a geochemical event is a global change.
  3. A geochemical process is driven by energy, while a geochemical event is driven by gravity.
