Summary: | In this review the present distribution of aluminium in the Earth crust is discussed historically, starting from the origin of this element in cosmic nucleosynthesis processes and following its fate during the formation of the Solar System, the origin of the Earth, the segregation of siderophile-chalcophile from lithophile elements, the extraction of crustal material from the primitive fertile mantle and the subsequent redistribution of aluminium in sedimentary rocks and in the hydrosphere, which both are a peculiar feature of our planet, intimately connected with the presence of life. |
