We are talking about huge deposits of carbon dioxide.
In the deep layers of the Pacific ocean, in its southern part, at a depth of 2 to 4 kilometers from the surface, stored water, supersaturated with carbon dioxide.
A group of scientists and oceanographers from the Institute for polar and marine research proved that the accumulation of carbon dioxide was formed during the ice age, it represents a giant gas storage facility.
A group of marine scientists from the research group, headed by the Alfred Wegener Institute for polar and marine research, during the long expedition into the Pacific ocean, opened for details pertaining to the ancient history of the Earth. The researchers were able to discover in the depths of the ocean a giant cluster of concentrated carbon dioxide. The formation of carbon dioxide at a sufficiently great depth contributed to the process of reducing its concentration in the Earth’s atmosphere during the ice age.
Sinking into the depths of the Pacific ocean, the carbon dioxide has occupied a vast space. From the very depths, to the surface periodically rises and a small amount of gas released into the atmosphere. Between the composition of air and water is installed a certain balance, say the oceanographers, which leads to a sustained greenhouse effect.
