Sinopsis
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.

Excerpt from The Gases in Rocks
Table 8 gives the percentage of each gas in the total volume of gas; and the volume of each gas (at 0° and 760 mm. Pressure) per unit-volume of rock.

Excerpt from The Gases in Rocks
The analyses are numbered in table 8 in the order in which they were made, and therefore furnish a chronological account of these investiga tions. At the commencement of these studies, it being deemed advisable to make a rapid survey of the field and establish the range of the phenome non, ih order to direct later experiments more intelligently, less attention was given to securing the most trustworthy method of extracting the gas. Twenty-two analyses were made during the preliminary trial stage, before the apparatus was overhauled and sealed glass connections substituted for rubber tubing. AS it was difficult to prevent a slight leakage of air into the tubes of the original apparatus, the first 22 analyses are characterized by a higher percentage of nitrogen than those made afterwards under more favorable conditions. Hydrogen sulphide was not determined in the first 17 analyses.
Table 8 gives the percentage of each gas in the total volume of gas; and the volume of each gas (at 0° and 760 mm. Pressure) per unit-volume of rock.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the phenomenon of gas entrapment in rocks, a discovery made possible by microscopical studies and chemical analysis advancements of the late 19th century. The author meticulously details the methods and results of their research on the volumes and compositions of gas found in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, as well as meteorites. They conclude that gas content varies widely, and that while some gases, like carbon dioxide, are more common in certain rock types, the presence of ferromagnesian minerals appears to be a reliable predictor of higher gas volumes. The author's pioneering work opens new avenues for understanding gas distribution in rocks and the potential role of these gases in geological processes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
