Mystery surrounds New York. Where there is an eternal flame (eternal flame) that never goes out and does not know where it came from. For many years, scientists thought that if the eternal flame continued to burn for gas production from a very hot stone.
However, researchers from Indiana University have discovered that the rocks under the Chestnut Ridge County Park is not hot enough to produce this gas, which means that there is another process which produces a gas that is always on. And they have not been able to identify whether the process is going on here.
The eternal flame is located in a waterfall in the west of New York. Native Americans say that the fire has been burning for thousands of years. There are many natural eternal flame around the world, and each occurred as a result of the activity of the underlying rocks are out of gas.
Gas suspected cause of the fire is very hot ancient rock called shale. However, Arndt Schimmelmann and researchers from Indiana University found that rocks under fire in New York is not hot enough to produce this reaction.
Schimmelmann told Our Amazing Planet that stone under the eternal flame is not hot enough, even the temperature is just about the temperature of a cup of hot tea. And again there flakes that age is not as old as had been previously thought.
These factors reinforce that it is unable to produce shale gas, causing a fire just as eternal-eternal flame around the world. And the researchers say they are not sure exactly how the gas was produced in New York.
Schimmelmann said there may be other ways that these rocks can cause a fire and it also comes from elsewhere source. "If it's true, and natural gas produced in this way in other locations, kberarti we have more shale gas resources than we thought," he added.
Temperature, said near the boiling point of water or heat, breaking the carbon molecules in shale and this reaction gives off a natural gas. Maria Mastalerz Schimmelmann and his colleagues made the discovery when they were studying the amount of methane produced by land along the east coast of America.
They also see a permanent burning a hole in Cook Forest State Park in northwest Pennsylvania, although the eternal flame is driven by an old gas wells. The team reported their findings in a study published in the May issue of the journal Marine and Petroleum Geology. The researchers also found that the gas in New York is also equipped ethane and propane with the highest concentration of each catchment in the world.
