Geological and Microbial Activity in the Constitution of the Chemical Environment Biosphere [Atividade Geológica e Microbiana na Constitui o do Ambiente Químico da Biosfera]Keywords: Geological activity , microbial metabolism , chemicals Abstract: his article discusses some ways to the production of chemicals from both the dynamics of the Earth - analyzed in the light of plate tectonics theory, as those obtained from microbial activity - indicating the advances that have revealed the existence of the Domain Archaea, which led the proposition new phylogenetic tree made from RNA subunits.
