Synopsis

Explore how rocks release gases and what that means for Earth's atmosphere. In this focused study, you’ll see how scientists test rocks to learn which gases they hold and how those gases respond when heated or crushed. The discussion connects laboratory experiments to big questions about the planet’s early atmosphere and the possible role of molten earth in shaping what we breathe today.

This edition presents practical experiments, measured results, and the reasoning behind interpretations. You’ll encounter descriptions of apparatus, procedures for crushing rock samples, and careful analysis of gases like hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. The text also considers how different rock types influence gas production and what those patterns imply for planetary sources of air.

- Learn how gas is extracted from rocks and measured in the lab.
- See which gases show up in different rock types and under varying conditions.
- Understand how chemical reactions between steam, iron compounds, and other minerals can produce hydrogen and other gases.
- Get a grounded look at how these findings relate to theories about a molten Earth and early atmospheric conditions.

Ideal for readers of geology, chemistry, and history of science who want a clearer picture of how tiny gas pockets in minerals can inform big planetary questions.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
