Plasmoid Phenomenon of ?Cold? Earth Degassing (The Baikal Rift Zone as Illustration)

A. V. Tatarinov | L. I. Yalovik

Abstract: On the base of photo documents data of natural plasmoids in near the earth atmosphere over the actual degassing lithosphere structures of Baikal rift zone (active faults, mud volcanism latent form structures, thermal water sources), augmented with the experiments results, the existing of the plasmoid form phenomenon of the Earth cold degassing is proved. The prior investigators discussed this phenomenon at the level of hypotheses and assumptions. Various factors and plasmogeneration conditions in the lithosphere and atmosphere are considered. The morphostructural classification of registered plasmoids is made and their internal configuration features are discovered. The water phase transitions defining role in appearance and plasmoids structuring in near the earth atmosphere is shown. It is specified an influence of meteorological parameters on the plasmoids forming processes (temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation).
