Increase in release of underground CO2 emissions in Italy tied to earthquakes – Phys.org

A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Italy has found a possible link between increases in CO2 emissions from groundwater and earthquake occurrences in Italy’s Apennine Mountains. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the group describes their decade-long study of CO2 emissions in the area and what they learned about them.
Prior research has shown that carbon dioxide in the air can become trapped in rocksthe resulting rocks are known as carbonates.Add…
