If it were conclusively demonstrable that tradition here preserves the eyewitness report of the sacred mountain under such violent natural seizure; and furthermore if such natural phenomena were unmistakably attributable to volcanic action (the strongest but still indecisive indication of this is the phrase in verse 18 «the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln»), we could with some assurance locate Sinai Horeb in the only area within possible range where volcanic phenomena have existed - that is, in the territory of ancient Midian (present Arabia) east of the northern end of the Gulf of Aqabah.

But until now, whether the disparity was caused by an asteroid impact or volcanic action on the surface has been in dispute.

In contrast, super-Earths with a similar concentration but larger absolute amount of radioactive heat sources (i.e., uranium and thorium) than Earth would produce more internal heat, more vigorous mantle convection, and faster plate tectonic action involving thinner plates, which may promote planetary habitability with lower mountain ranges but higher volcanic activity and an atmosphere with a greater relative composition of volcanic and lighter gases (Sasselov and Valencia, Scientific American, August 2010; Valencia and O'Connell, 2009; and Valencia et al, 2007).

«This is the complete carbon cycle: rainwater removes CO2 from the atmosphere and puts it in the crust, and volcanic action releases CO2 from the crust and puts it back in the atmosphere.»

However, over long time periods, the variation of the global average temperature with CO2 concentration depends on various factors such as the placement of the continents on Earth, the functionality of ocean currents, the past history of the climate, the orientation of the Earth's orbit relative to the Sun, the luminosity of the Sun, the presence of aerosols in the atmosphere, volcanic action, land clearing, biological evolution, etc..

Convective patterns driven by heat transport in the interior of the Earth push one crustal plate under another (subduction) and the friction heats up the magma necessary for volcanic action — which in turn releases CO2 into the atmosphere.
