Abstract
Some numerical tools can be used to further constrain the processes shaping the geochemistry of a rock suite (see Chap. 20). The numerical form of the different laws established before (especially for trace elements, Chap. 11) is such that, in well-chosen diagrams, different processes will generate immediately distinguishable patterns. We discuss several such approaches including order of incompatibility, process identification, mixing test and fractionation vectors.
