Vesicles are small, round, bubble-like cavities that owe their presence to small amounts of gas that were trapped in the rock at the time of its solidification. ADVERTISEMENT Geologists use the name "scoria" for rocks that have a basaltic composition and a vesicular texture. The names scoria...
. Dense and rich ‘greenhouse gases’ in Venus’s atmosphere are believed to have lost their lighter elements due to the solar wind (Lammer et al.2006). Although it is only a speculation, without the GMF, oxygen, which is a gas significantly lighter than carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide o...
When faced with a spewing volcano, people today share many of the same feelings volcano-observers have had throughout human history: We are in awe of the destructive power of nature, and we are unsettled by the thought that a peaceful mountain can suddenly become an unstoppable destructive forc...
As of 2009, there are only about a thousand geysers left active on the planet, in geyser fields in such diverse locales as Iceland, New Zealand, Chile and the U.S. [source:Glennon]. The one thing all of these locations have in common with one another is a high level ofgeothermal act...
These often fill up with water, creating round lakes, such as Crater Lake in Oregon. Lava domes form when most of the gas vesicles escape during an initial eruption, and the remaining viscous lava lacks the necessary pressure to spew out and so it flows out very slowly at the summit ...
The algae usually forms on slow-growing plants such as Anubias, but it can also grow on gravel, diftwood, or rocks in your tank. How To Remove: Using different fish or snails:There are a few different types of fish known to eat BBA, ...
Observed at the microscale, the vesicles occur either as individual vesicles isolated within the tektite glass (free vesicles) or as compact vesicle aggregates in the froth surrounding the coesite-bearing frothy inclusions (froth vesicles). The free vesicles are normally larger than the froth vesicle...
