Chemical reactions that pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it in the form of solid rock inside geological formations could offset billions of tons of carbon-dioxide emissions each ...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A rock found mostly in Oman can be harnessed to soak up the main greenhouse gas carbon dioxide at a rate that could help slow global warming, scientists say. When carbon dioxide ...

Oman's ample stores of peridotite rock could lock away huge volumes of planet-warming carbon, but backers say a price on carbon is needed to make the project viable Nov 3 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) ...

Decompression of hot mantle rock upwelling beneath oceanic spreading centers causes it to exceed the melting point (solidus), producing magmas that ascend to form basaltic crust ~6 to 7 kilometers ...

Water stored in peridotite aquifers in the shallow subsurface drives hydration and oxidation (serpentinization) reactions, generating hydrogen gas and releasing Mg2+, Fe2+, Ca2+ and OH- into solution.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: To understand the mantle—the largest layer of Earth’s rocky body—scientists drill deep cores out of the Earth. Scientists drilled the deepest core ...
