Much of the Earth’s mantle was melted in the Moon-forming impact. Gases that were not partially soluble in the melt, such as water and CO2, formed a thick, deep atmosphere surrounding the postimpact Earth. This atmosphere was opaque to thermal radiation, allowing heat to escape to space only at the runaway greenhouse threshold of approximately 100 W m−2. The duration of this runaway greenhouse ...

the halak abad prospect occurs in the northeastern part of central iran zone (sabzevar structural zone). in this investigation, geochemical evolution, age and source of part of northeastern iran magmatic arc (intrusive bodies) in halak abad area in the khorasan razavi province has been studied. the exposed rocks consist of volcanic rocks with andesite and dacite nature, limestone, plutonic rock...

The very low water content of the granulitic unit of Holsnøy, in the Bergen Arcs, Norway, caused its partial metastable preservation throughout Caledonian burial end exhumation, leading to the observed mixture of completely eclogitized and uneclogitized rocks. Large-scale eclogite-facies fracturing enabled fluid penetration into the granulite and subsequent eclogitization, and resulted in a ver...
