| Popis: | The recent discovery that atomic carbon occurs plentiful in olivines from mantle-derived rocks opens new aspects for the chemical evolution of the early atmosphere and the origin of life. It has been shown conclusively that atomic carbon which is dissolved in the model oxide MgO is capable of reacting in an O2-free atmosphere with the lattice oxygen to give CO2 and with the lattice hydrogen, derived from OH−, to give a profuse variety of hydrocarbons. |
