Over time, rocks weather due to the influence of wind, water, ice, and daily and seasonal temperature differences. These weathering products form then short the pedosphere (the ground), go into solution in water (chemistry), are transported as dust, and similar processes. Long term, but they rearrange stable, lithify and form sedimentary rocks, are transported into the deep, and after transformation (metamorphosis) reveal pushed back ...

Da offene Flammen häufig zu Explosionen von Methangas in Kohlebergwerken führten, schrieben Grubenbesitzer einen hoch dotierten Preis zur Erfindung einer explosionssicheren Lampe aus. So wurde die Davy-Lampe entwickelt. Das Geheimnis war ein simples, engmaschiges, Drahtgitter um die offene Flamme. Dieses Gitter verhindert, durch Wärmeableitung, die Entzündung von Gas außerhalb der Lampe. Die Weiterentwicklung war der Einsatz von wiederaufladbaren Akkus statt ...
