Inorganic bromine is found in the atmosphere and is quickly cycled between its gas and its particulate phase. Bromine gas (Br 2 ) undergoes an autocatalytic cycle known as the ' bromine explosion ', which occurs in the ocean and salt lakes such as the Dead Sea , where a high quantity of salts are exposed to the atmosphere.
In 1914, Miocene fossils of creatures like freshwater mollusks, mastodons, and rhinoceros were found in the Kawich Mountains northeast of Las Vegas. The site is now known as the Truckie Beds. In 1930 M. R. Harrington was searching for Pueblo Indian pottery when he serendipitously discovered the skull of a ground sloth in Gypsum Cave in southern ...
In 1840, bromine was discovered to have some advantages over the previously used iodine vapor to create the light sensitive silver halide layer in daguerreotypy. [ 25 ] By 1864, a 25% solution of liquid bromine in .75 molar aqueous potassium bromide [ 26 ] was widely used [ 27 ] to treat gangrene during the American Civil War, before the ...
The high-bromine brines in the Appalachian Basin are found in Silurian and Devonian rocks, in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. The principal source of the brine in Ohio and West Virginia was the Pottsville Formation, also called the Big Salt Sand. In Pennsylvania, bromine brine was pumped from the Pocono Sandstone. [2]
A guest on a Norwegian Cruise Line got stuck in the closed-tubed, double-looped ride that sends sliders out over the ocean. Cruise guest gets stuck on 'claustrophobic' water slide suspended over ...
Blue Diamond is the site of Cottonwood Spring (formerly known as Ojo de Cayetana, or Pearl Spring), a watering place and camp site on the Old Spanish Trail and the later Mormon Road between Mountain Springs and Las Vegas Springs.
Oceanographers explored an area around the Pacific Ocean’s Nazca Ridge and found a massive underwater mountain. Using a sonar system, the researchers digitally mapped the seafloor of the area ...
The solution: a $25-million series of wells that will suck water out of the ground and spit it into the ocean, effectively drying up thelubricated landscape enough to stop the land from sliding.
