Natural hydrogen: Could it be produced by earthquakes?
t3n:
On the one hand, earthquakes release gases that were previously trapped by the rock movements, including hydrogen. On the other hand, however, it is more important that hydrogen is also produced directly when the rock breaks up into fault zones. When the freshly fractured mineral surfaces come into contact with water, very reactive radicals are formed, i.e. atoms or molecules that are missing an electron. They combine very quickly to form hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide.
Earthquakes are therefore not only zones in which large mechanical forces are discharged, but also places of chemical activity that are triggered by the mechanical changes.
But hydrogen is not only produced in earthquake regions. "Outside of fault zones, hydrogen production also takes place in other natural contexts, such as the erosion of bedrock during glacier movements," write the authors of the study. "In addition, artificial activities, such as drilling into rock, can lead to hydrogen formation."
