Isibabule siyikhemikhali enophawu S kanye nenombolo ye-athomu engu-16. Siphuzi ngokugqamile, siqinile esiqinile ekushiseni kwegumbi futhi sinephunga elihlukile, elihlabayo. Isibabule siyisici esibalulekile kusayensi yokwakheka komhlaba nesayensi yomhlaba, futhi sidlala indima ebalulekile ezinhlobonhlobo zezinqubo zokuma komhlaba.
Ku-geology, isulfure itholakala kakhulu ngesimo sama-sulfide, okungamaminerali aqukethe isulfure kanye nenye. or ezinye izakhi. Amanye amaminerali e-sulfide avamile ahlanganisa i-pyrite (iron sulfide), i-chalcopyrite (i-copper-iron sulfide), ne-sphalerite (zinc sulfide). Ama-sulfide angamaminerali abalulekile e-ore futhi avame ukumbiwa izinsimbi eziqukethe.
I-Sulfur iyatholakala futhi ngesimo se-sulphur dioxide (SO2) emkhathini womhlaba. Kunomthelela omkhulu ekungcoleni komoya futhi kungaba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yomuntu, kodwa futhi kudlala indima ebalulekile esimweni sezulu soMhlaba. I-Sulfur dioxide iyigesi ebamba ukushisa emkhathini, futhi ingaba nomthelela ekushiseni ukuqeqeshwa yamafu nemvula.
Ngaphezu kokuba khona kwaso kuqweqwe lomhlaba nasemkhathini, isulfure nayo iyisici esibalulekile ku-hydrosphere Yomhlaba. Itholakala ezinhlobonhlobo zamakhemikhali ancibilikayo emanzini, njengama-sulfate nama-sulfite, angancibilika emanzini futhi athuthwe ngomjikelezo wamanzi. Isibabule siphinde sibe yingxenye eyinhloko yamanye ama-amino acid, okuyizingqimba zokwakha amaprotheni.
Isibabule sinomlando omude emphakathini wesintu futhi siye sasetshenziselwa izinjongo ezihlukahlukene phakathi namakhulu eminyaka. Isetshenziswe njengenhlanganisela yokwelapha, i-fumigant, kanye ne-preservative. Ibuye isetshenziselwe ukwenza umbala kumapende nakudayi nanjengengxenye yesibhamu.
Enye yezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwesibabule ezikhathini zanamuhla ukukhiqizwa kwe-sulfuric acid. I-Sulfuric acid iyi-asidi eqinile esetshenziswa kakhulu embonini yamakhemikhali, futhi iyingxenye ebalulekile yomanyolo, okokuhlanza neminye imikhiqizo.
Ku-geology, isulfure inenani lezinhlelo zokusebenza ezibalulekile. Isetshenziselwa ukukhomba ukuba khona kwamaminerali athile kanye nokunquma ukwakheka kwawo kwamakhemikhali. I-Sulfur isotopes ingasetshenziswa ukutadisha imijikelezo ye-geochemical yomhlaba kanye nokuqonda umlando woMhlaba. Isibabule singasetshenziswa futhi ukunquma iminyaka yamadwala namaminerali ngokusebenzisa inqubo ebizwa ngokuthi i-sulphur-isotope geochronology.
Isibabule siyisici esibalulekile ekucwaningweni kwesayensi yokwakheka komhlaba nesayensi yomhlaba, futhi sidlala indima ebalulekile ezinqubweni eziningi ezibalulekile zokuma komhlaba. Ukuba khona kwawo oqweqweni loMhlaba, emkhathini, naku-hydrosphere kuyenza ibe isici esibalulekile sokuqondwa nokufunda. Kusukela ekusetshenzisweni kwaso ekukhiqizeni i- sulfuric acid kuya endimeni yayo emjikelezweni wesimo sezulu nowomhlaba wamanzi, isibabule siyinto ebalulekile eye yaba nomthelela omkhulu eMhlabeni nasemphakathini wesintu.
