Why Chondrite normalization?

• Because scientists are interested in the
relative changes, they like to normalize to an
initial condition.
• And that's where chondrites come in.
• Chondrites are the solar system's initial
condition- they represent the leftover raw
material from which the terrestrial planets
were assembled

Chondrite normalization is used to compare changes in the composition of rocks and minerals. Scientists use chondrites as a reference point because they are the original material that makes up the solar system. This allows researchers to see how different rocks and minerals have changed over time.
