How does Oman's rocks save the planet from global warming?

bout 10 years ago, geologists discovered that the abundant ophiolite rocks in the Sultanate of Oman could absorb carbon dioxide that causes global warming and said it helped slow global warming. The Sultanate of Oman has a special feature to remove carbon dioxide, which causes the Earth to heat from the air and turn it into stone, which contributes significantly to control the phenomenon of "global warming", which advances the concerns of the world's major environmental countries.

"In theory, these rocks can store human emissions from a second," US geologist Peter P. Keliman said in a report published on Friday by the paper titled "The Rock of Oman Could Save the Planet." Carbon dioxide for hundreds of years, "adding that" it will not be easy but it is not impossible. "

The report pointed to a number of strange phenomena observed by Kiliman, the most prominent of which is that «the veins of white carbonate minerals are in the dark rock slabs, such as fat, which decorates the piece of meat and makes it resemble marble, and these carbonates surrounded by gravel and stones, converted the regular pebble into a natural mosaic, In rocks interact with carbon dioxide to produce ice-like ice crust, which if broken, they form again in a matter of days, and when the water back to contact with the air freezes a thin layer of carbonate on the surface ».

If this natural process, called carbon mineralization, can be harnessed, accelerated and applied at low cost on a large scale, it can help fight climate change. Air since the beginning of the industrial era ».

"What Kiliman and others really think is to remove carbon dioxide in the air, to stop or reverse the gradual increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere," the report says.
