Sentences with phrase «outgassing associated»

Barnhart said the changes from dry to wet periods might have had to do with periods of greenhouse - gas outgassing associated with volcanic eruptions, large impacts, or a change in the tilt of Mars» rotation, though all that remains to be studied further.

Not exact matches

Faster sea floor spreading, presumably associated with more volcanic activity at subduction zones, and / or other increases in volcanic activity or geologic outgassing, or faster oxidation of exposed fossil organic C (as in shales)-- greater geologic CO2 emissions (I think another way of looking at the inorganic part is that any given region of sea floor has less time to accumulate carbonate minerals from chemical weathering, so that C reservoir could shrink while others, including the atmosphere, can grow).

The positive correlation indicates that the ocean outgasses CO2 compared to its mean state when the SAM is positive, i.e. when the winds are intensified South of 45ºS (20), and suggests that wind - driven upwelling and associated ventilation of the sub-surface waters rich in carbon dominates the variability in CO2 flux (18).

Many of the mechanisms are like that — the tides, the direct inductive heating, the heating caused by the days influx of falling meteorites — which incidentally is far greater than the rate of heat loss through outgassing, as meteoric dust and matter infalls at an average rate of at least millimeters per decade, from my own direct measurements — they have «impressively» large amounts of annual energy associated with them, right up to where you divide by the surface area of the earth and the number of seconds in a year.

It is also more like a rate - law associated with an outgassing effect, where the CO2 concentration should be the convolution of the Temperature with an outgassing CO2 impulse response.
