Earth's Heat Source -the Sun Earth's Heat Source -the Sun
The Sun encompasses planet Earth, supplies the heat that warms it, and even shakes it. The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assumed that solar influence on Earth’s climate is limited to changes in solar irradiance and adopted the consensus opinion of a hydrogen-filled Sun—the Standard Solar Model (SSM). They did not consider the alternative solar model and instea...
متن کاملIo: Heat flow from small volcanic features
We identify nine new faint thermal sources on Io via color ratio images constructed from relatively high spatial resolution Galileo NIMS data acquired late in the mission. All of these identifications are associated with small dark paterae. We utilize NIMS data to quantify their volcanic thermal emission as 0.53 10 W (or 0.5% of Io’s total heat flow). In addition, we refine our previous estimat...
متن کاملPetrology and source of Plio-Quaternary volcanic rocks in southwest of Nir, South of Yazd
In the southeast of Nir, south of Yazd Povince, several acidic volcanoes rocks are exposed and form the youngest volcanic rocks in this region with dacite-rhyodacite composition. These rocks are composed of plagioclase, hornblende, biotite and quartz phenocrysts with trachytic and hyallomicrolithic porphyry texture. Based on geochemical data, the magmatic affinity of these rocks is calc-alkali...
متن کاملVolcanic source for fixed nitrogen in the early Earth’s atmosphere
Hot volcanic vents promote the thermal fixation of atmospheric N2 into biologically available forms. The importance of this process for the global nitrogen cycle is poorly understood. At Masaya volcano, Nicaragua, NO and NO2 are intimately associated with volcanic aerosol, such that NOx levels reach as much as an order of magnitude above local background. In-plume HNO3 concentrations are elevat...
متن کاملThe Heat Source of the Foehn
Twelve years of upper air data and surface observations across Iceland are used to investigate the connection between the difference of surface air temperature upstream and downstream of the Icelandic highlands and several parameters of the airflow, such as precipitation, static stability and wind speed. The data does not support the well-known concept of the heat of the foehn being a result of...
