degas

It’s a high-tech twist on the classic mason jar, using a silicone lid with a degassing valve and an AirGone Argon Gas Canister to flush out oxygen.

They connected it to a computer model that calculates CO2 degassing of underwater volcanoes along mid-ocean ridges -- the sites where plates diverge and new ocean crust is born.

"Volcanic sulfur degassing from such activity could have caused repeated short-lived global drops in temperature"

"Evacuation of the miners is being carried out," the Kemerovo emergency services said, reporting that a degassing box had caught fire on the surface.

When that happens, high-pressure fluid rises along the fault while the pressure slowly goes down, instantaneously degassing dissolved carbon dioxide or methane in ways that expand their volume and thus the cracks.
