The reduced pressure in the chamber causes the dissolved hydrogen to come out of solution in the melt and either escape from the sample through the molten surface or form bubbles in the solidifying sample. As gas-charged magma makes its way to Earth's surface, where pressures are much lower, the gases--water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and others--begin to form bubbles within the material. As the deep water rose, dissolved carbon dioxide came out of solution to form bubbles, just as soda fizzes when one uncaps a bottle. |
