Are there pockets of liquid carbon dioxide in Earth’s oceans?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Crystal Jones Quick answer is no, however there are methane clathrates somewhere down there and possibly also carbon dioxide clathrates as well. How much CO2 is trapped in the ocean? While previous estimates put the ocean sink at around 2bn tonnes of CO2 per year, we find that it could be 0.8-09bn tonnes
How to sample for K-Ar dating?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Crystal Jones What kind of samples are required for potassium-argon and argon argon dating? The older method required splitting samples into two for separate potassium and argon measurements, while the newer method requires only one rock fragment or mineral grain and uses a single measurement of argon isotopes. How is K-Ar dating done?

Lanes of flat ocean surface in coastal waters
Earth ScienceAsked by: Aaron Zilla What are the lines on the surface of the ocean? These patches are actually called windrows, and they are usually parallel lines of “stuff” sometime stretching for more than a kilometer. In our waters they are composed largely of sargassum, foam/bubbles, and a mixture of floating polyfoam, plastic, and other jetsam
Does the geographic North Pole move?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Ann Shaw The magnetic and geomagnetic poles change quite drastically. But even the geographic north pole moves up to 10 meters a year as the earth wobbles on its axis due to seasonal air pressure differences across the globe, melting ice caps, and so on. Does the North Pole always move? Magnetic north
