In the diagram above, lithium sinks are described in concentrations (ppm) and displayed as boxes.{{Cite journal|last1=Tang|first1=Yan-Jie|last2=Zhang|first2=Hong-Fu|last3=Ying|first3=Ji-Feng|date=2007|title=Review of the Lithium Isotope System as a Geochemical Tracer|url=http://sourcedb.igg.cas.cn/cn/zjrck/200907/W020130322676462980148.pdf|journal=International Geology Review|volume=49|issue=4|pages=874–888|doi=10.2747/0020-6814.49.4.374|bibcode=2007IGRv...49..374T|s2cid=8198593}} Fluxes are shown as arrows and are in units of moles per year.{{Cite journal|last1=von Strandmann|first1=Philip A.E.

Dissolved lithium in run-off travels to the ocean. Fluid release from [[Hydrothermal vent|hydrothermal vents]] contributes to oceanic lithium reserves while lithium is removed from the ocean by secondary mineral formation.
